Respected director Ridley Scott used sparticus as a starting point and created a action-packed blodd thirsy tale of one man who defied an emperor in ancient Rome. Great action scenes and performances by Russel Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Neilsen as well as plenty of great support from Oliver Reed, Richard Harris and Derek Jacobi. Great score as well. As sworn succesor to rule over Rome and fuelled by revenge {SPOILER - Click to view}By the murder of his wife and child , Maximus swears to make his way back to Rome and get revenge on the newly appointed, corrupt emperor Commodus. It's here I should mention how excellent Joaquin Phoenix as Commoduc, I can't imagine anyone else playing the role,. He's got the look and the acting chops and for me the first time I saw it was just mesmorizing to watch. Did you love Gladiator?
