Gladiator – 2000
From Richard Harris’s inspiring but short entrance on the screen to the unlikely ending to the film, Ridley Scott certainly has made a name for himself with this film, and so has the superb Russell Crowe, with the role of “The Spanion”.
I found this film most exhilarating and refreshing giving a whole new standard for the Roman era of films, completing with such likes as Ben Hur and the and the acclaimed TV series of “Spartacus Blood and Sand” even now 12 years later it is still brilliant with spectacular special effects this is a master piece of a film.
As I am not a big fan of Joaquin Phoenix, I found his character arrogant and annoying to watch, but that was his character but portrayed well by Joaquin, but I take my hat of to him because a role like that is hard to play.
12 years later and its still getting 8/10.
a iconic yet moving film by Ridley Scott.
