Blood, guts, politics, romance, and conspiracy is all in Gladiator and makes for an awesome movie.

Russell Crowe portrays Maximus Decimus Meridius, a general in the Roman army and is loved by Emperor Marcus Aurelius who promises him that when he dies Maximus would become the next Emperor.

General Maximus' success in battle earns the favour of an elderly Emperor at the expense of the Emperor's son. In a fit of jealous rage the son slays his father before turning his anger towards Maximus. Now reduced to a slave, his family dead, Maximus must fight as a Gladiator to gain his freedom, and his revenge.

Overrated films (20 movies items)

"Ebert said it best when he said this was WWE put into Ancient Rome. Awful, overly stylized dialogue and a completely uninvolving plot lend to a bore. Acting and directing was decent though, as I'd expect from Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix."

Movie Reviews (51-100) (50 movies items)

" Ridley Scott's return-to-form after a decade of so-so films. It is a majestic action epic that please the crowds with it's beautiful photography and Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard's beautiful film score. Excellent acting throughout as it all leads up to an epic war between a revenge hungry general and a venomous Roman Emperor. Therefor it is annoying that the film seem to suddenly drop this intriguing build-up for a crowd-pleasing finale where the villain and hero fight it out in the gladiator ar"
