Comments? Did you see it? Like it or hate it? On the whole concept of slave gladiators? Do we have them today?

I'm not overly fond of it. It's very much a "man movie," and seems mainly to appeal to masculine sensibilities. All the same, it's an entertaining watch every now and again, despite Russell Crowe being an unbearably unfriendly actor.

— 5 years ago(May 06, 2020 07:20 PM)I loved it. I only hated that the fight between Maximus and Commodus was so anticlimactic. But this movie was Russell Crowe at his peak. People tend to forget he had a stretch of great performances where he was clearly the best actor in Hollywood In the early 2000s.
Joaquin Phoenix did a great job in making you despise his character, the quintessence of a good villain.

I liked it, despite how Maximus ended up dying in the end due to his opponent taking a cheap shot at him before the fight the increase his chances at winning. Russell Crowe’s portrayal of Maximus felt authentic and very emotional.
