What a movie! Just epic

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2016)

This is one of the few movies that I watched more than once. The plot, the acting and the direction was just epic. The conspiracy, politics and realistic fight scenes add to the quality of viewing. Especially hats off to Joaquin, who played Commodus. I personally felt that it was unfair that Joaquin didn't get an Oscar for this performance while Crowe got it. I felt that Joaquin performed as good if not better than Crowe and it was his character that made the movie more interesting.
The only problem I saw with this movie was that the plot has been stretched to 150 minutes while it could have been fitted into 125-130 minutes. But this is too minor a flaw to reduce my rating.
I would highly recommend this movie. If you have not watched it before, watch it now. It will blow your mind
