The Best Film of The Year!! Of the New Melleium!!
'Gladiator' by far is the BEST FILM I have seen this year!!It combines the values we are seeking once again of honor, duty, country, and to family, with old-fashioned moviemaking once thought lost. Ridley Scott and company have produced a classic of a film that will be enjoyed for years to come.Russell Crowe (Maximus) shines brightly amidst the backdrop of ancient Rome. He brings to the screen a passion rarely seen in a main character. Joaquin Pheonix(Commodus), is also superb in his role as the spoiled Prince who takes over for his dead father. The rest of the superb cast fill out the this epic drama.Filled with action that puts one in the arenas of Rome, the oustanding soundtrack that pulls at one's emotions,and the special effects that details the epic feel of the Roman Empire.This film must not be missed!!! My thumbs are still up!!!
