The best so far

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2000)

Simply put, Gladiator is the best movie of the year so far. It doesn't bring back the Rome epic, it redefines it. CGI has allowed Ridley Scott to show Ancient Rome as it truly was. Gladiator also has more than just special effects. It has a riveting story of revenge, amazing acting performances, and great action. The action is not as plentiful as in Armageddon, but the scenes do come and they are amazing. Breathtaking cinematography, and an epic as well as solemn musical score help Ridley Scott's grand vision. I predict best actor nomination for Russel Crowe, as well as best supporting actor nomination for Joaquin Phoenix. Go see this movie. NOW!!!!!
