Wow!
I love Russell Crowe so this was immediately a must see for me. I must say that this was one of his best preformances in my mind.With the use of use of superb computer graphics, as well as exceptional costume work, the viewer is transported back to ancient Rome and into the arena. The film is full of action, political intrigue, and also deals with issues of love and faith. The cast is strong, the dialogs perfectally written, and the viewer is treated to the perfect amount of gore. You will feel you are really there without being overwhelmed by blood and guts that weren't really needed in order to get the point across.This film is truly a work of art, and it is obvious that it aimed to please.
