Instant classic

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2004)

The performances of the actors were great. The story line also was on the money. Their option to leave out all of the gods involved and to focus more on what the people did was an excellent idea. If Gladiator was a movie to remember, this has gone one step further. From opening shots to striking take down, from battle scenes to dialogs, this film captures you. You almost forget that this movie is over two hours long. Its as though you get consumed by the movie and get set in a trance. Even thought you know what is coming next, you are still surprised to see the delivery and interpretation. The main fight scene leaves you in awe. If you have not seen it yet, there is no need to wait! This is an instant classic...
