Definitely my favorite!! - Gladiator Reviews

Awesome characters. Awesome plot. Awesome action. This movie has it all. The special f/x are phenomenal, and this film lacks NOTHING!! The hero is a Roman General named Maximus. The villain is the evil Commodus, who wrongly inherits the title of Caesar after secretly murdering his father. Maximus is imprisoned and sold into slavery, and learns of the horrible deaths of his wife and son by the dreaded Commodus. The ex-General is bought by merciful Proxemo, who trains Maximus to be the best gladiator possible. He instantly gains fame from the city of Rome as his military background gives him an advantage against the thugs that he battles in the glorious Coliseum. Soon Maximus' vendetta against Commodus will be fulfilled as he is challenged by the evil Caesar who murderes his family. This gripping plot and incredible cast makes this film a must-see.
