Description - In Gladiator, victorious general Maximus Decimus Meridias has been named keeper of Rome and its empire by dying emperor Marcus Aurelius, so that rule might pass from the Caesars back to the people and Senate. Marcus neglected and power-hungry son, Commodus, has other ideas, however. Escaping an ordered execution, Maximus hurries back to his home in Spain, too late to save his wife and son from the same order. Taken into slavery and trained as a gladiator by Proximo, Maximus lives only that he might someday take his revenge and fulfill the dying wish of his emperor. The time soon comes when Proximos troupe is called to Rome to participate in a marathon of gladiator games held at the behest of the new emperor, Commodus. Once in Rome, Maximus wastes no time in making his presence known, and is soon involved in a plot to overthrow the emperor with his former-love Lucilla, Commodus sister, after whom he lusts, and also the widowed mother of Lucius, heir to the empire after his uncle, and democratic-minded senator, Gracchus

Okay, I enjoyed it in spite of the blood, body count and gore (or maybe because of it. It was well-paced and well-acted. The fight scenes were satisfactory and Russell Crowe looked liked he did know how to hold a sword. This viewer still doesn't know what to think of the ending. seems rather bizarre to me. I guess it was necessary for the two foes to come to a head but I'm not sure that it was entirely convincing to do it in the way it was done. Still I enjoyed the performances of several decent British actors and of course, Russell Crowe is always stunning.
One of the greatest movies i have ever seen. great views. great actors. great story. ever thing is just great you have to see it. In Russell Crowe, Scott has found an actor who can carry this movie the way Atlas was supposed to carry the globe of the world on his back. in Crowe's case without stooping.

Starring: Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, and Connie Nielson.
A Roman general becomes a slave when he is betrayed. His wife and son were brutally murdered by the prince. But when the slave becomes a gladiator, he fights his way to get to the prince.
The battle sequences, in my opinion, were breathtaking. Especially the fight between all the slaves and the other fighters. This movie is quite bloody (That black arrow lady bit the big one) so you better not eat much before you see this.
This film is one of the greatest of all time, and it deserved every award it won.
