one of the best epic movies ever made !

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2012)

I love this movie , it has all of the basic elements of a epic ! Destined to be a classic, from the incredible acting to the costumes. Pure perfection , Tony and Ridley Scott really captured the essence of the Gladiator movies ! It definitely was worthy of every Oscar , it received ! Russel Crowe's performance as Maximus was as stellar as Charlton Heston's in Ben Hur. There was a only one part of this movie, that really got to me. And that was heartless merciless murder of his family. I broke into tears, but despite that depressing scene. It is still one of my all time favorite movies! I would definitely rate it an A +! But due to minor suggestive scenes this movie is not for everyone. But if you like action till the death and some blood shed , then this is the movie for you!
