Rating: 5.0
Breathtaking
Not only is this a great action movie, it even has a historical value. Most of the reviews here are written by Americans and a was a bit sceptic too when I went to see the movie because of the fact that the movie was directed by Ridly Scott (an American). I must say, Ridley did his research more than adequate. Coming from Europe (and thus having visite Rome more than once) I was impressed how accurate the city of Rome was reproduced. I was amazed by the look of the Colosseum (that now still partially stands in the center of Rome). Americans tend to forget the influence of the Roman Empire. Well I can say that Europe wouldn't be what it is today if the Roman Empire hadn't existed.
