Good movie.........but

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 2002)

This was hands down a beautiful looking movie, but Russell Crowe didn't deserve that oscar he got. Over a year later, I'm still trying to figure out why they gave it to him over Ed Harris or Tom Hanks. Joaquin Phoenix really shines as Commodus and the cinematography and score are great. But was that whole opening battle really necessary.
