Review:
Gladiador is a Ridley Scott film about the sucesión of the Rome emperor Marcus Aurelius and the emperor Commodus. This film has a high starring: Russel Crow as Maximus, Joaquin Fénix as Commodus, Connie Nielsen as Lucilla and Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius. It is an epic film.

Maximus the best friend of the dead Marcus Aurelius, is exilied for Commodus who is Marcus Aurelius son. Maximus wife and son have been murdered for the Emper and Maximus is sold as a Gladiator. He became famous but without name, face. He spects the moment to take revenge of Commodus.

It is set on Rome, barbarians territories and Siria. On this movie there are a lot of fights and some love situations.

I think it´s the best movie of the last decade. It has a great argument, great staff of actors, a great deployment. It is a compelling film.

  1. I thought that the special effects in this movie were outstanding, it made the movie very realistic and gave you an insight into what life in Roman times might have been about. I also think there was a message in there as part of the story that could apply to any time, I really liked this movie but your review reminded me of watching it, I haven't seen it for a long time and I should really look to watch it again!
