Without any doubt, Gladiator was the best action film of all-time. It's amazing! This movie won 5 awards out 12 nominations including BEST PICTURE from Academy Award.
The story of this movie was extraordinary excellent. Maximus (Russell Crowe) had the ferocity of a warrior but with dignity and character. He combined the great feeling of heroism and bravery with goodness. Commodus, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius's son (Joaquin Phoenix) was a person with an insatiate thirst of human blood and capable of the most inhuman actions. His dislike about himself was reflected in his difficult personality. He was envious of Maximus because people loved him and above all because the Emperor loved Maximus mere than him. Although his wickedness, he suffered for this condition and, it causes into the public a sense of pity. The Emperor was an honest man and he fought for his people. He was never proud of his son and he paid for it with his live.
This movie is the most realistic historical movie on Romans produced so far. The computer work on ancient Rome is beautiful and pretty much correct. The first 10 minutes (battle in Germania) are so real that you feel like you just did a time travel. The violence is cruel and disturbing, but that only adds to the realism of the movie.
Of course, there are some amazing fight scenes as well, in the Coliseum and other gladiator venues as well as Germania, where we are introduced to Maximus putting down a barbarian rebellion. The combat scenes are where the CGI work and other special effects especially shine, with a fight between Maximus and his cohorts against a squad of charioteers making for one heady adrenaline rush.
Ridley Scott is an absolutely talented director. He and a talented team of writers figured out a new way to breathe life in the old formula, with the help of CGI and a talented leading man. One of the best movies of Ridley Scotts since Alien and Blade Runner.
Russell Crowe is more than adequate in the role of Maximus, he did a very decent job on his role and he does deserve the BEST ACTOR from those movies awards. Joaquin Phoenix also did a very outstanding job in his role. The acting of this movie was flawless and stunning.
Three word for this movie:
SPECTACULAR!!! PHENOMENAL!!! FABULOUS!!!

i like the movie very much but eventhough i would go for brave heart when compared to this. russel crowe has done a great job. basically movies which improve the morale of the people after watching deserves aprreciation and this one got its own by bagging few oscars. great movie to watch and if you are a fan this actor then i would recommand a beautiful mind. his acting is far more better than this and poor guy failed to get his second oscar.
