This could have been one of those forgettable movies if it wasn’t for the performance of Russell Crowe. He changes this ordinary fare into something very spectacular. One of the strongest points in this film is introduction of the Gladiator in front of the King. He takes off his mask and hurls out one of the greatest dialogs in the history of cinema. Ridley Scott as a director is no artist but has a keen eye for special effects. This probably makes one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood. His movies are heavily stylized something I m not used to liking. But this film has some memorable scenes that have been replicated time and time again.
