The Gladiator Experience
When I first saw this movie, I was truly amazed. This was one of the best movies of 2000 from the battle for Germany lead by Maximus to the final battle between Maximus against Commodus the Emperor of Rome. Australian Russell Crowe has done an outstanding performance as Maximus and I soon learned that he did his own stunts in that movie. That is unbelievable but true. It truly deserved Oscars for being the #1 movie in America. One star for powerful story, One star for great action, One star for brilliant acting by Russell Crowe, one star for spectacular visuals of Rome, and one star for all the hard work that Ridley Scott did to make this movie a success.5 stars is my rating and there is no good reason why you cannot rate this movie one star. (Unless you are a Roman historian!)
