Gladiator
Starring: Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Synopsis: A war General is favored by Caesar more than his own son and is chosen to be the Caesar's successor. When the son hears of this, he murders his father and names himself the next Caesar. The General ends up as a Gladiator in Caesar's arena and plots his revenge.
My Thoughts: Gladiator had a decent storyline, and great special effects. Plot and character development moved at a nice pace, but the movie was too long and somewhat repetitive in the middle stretch.
Score: 7 out of 10
