In Theaters: 12 May 2000 (UK) Maximus is a powerful Roman general, loved by the people and the aging Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Before his death, the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his heir over his own son, Commodus, and a power struggle leaves Maximus and his family condemned to death. The powerful general is unable to save his family, and his loss of will allows him to get captured and put into the Gladiator games until he dies.

I loved Joaquin Phoenix in this.
but the rest of the movie was silly… In my opinion of course. So, @Fake Pyro, yep, some people do dislike this movie, sorry
this is the best movie ever from Russel Crowe! I’ve watched this movie over 50 times and it still moves me and its still so coooool .
HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE ?
Did you know Mel Gibson turned down the part of Maximus?
Wow…I was only 3 when this came out.

@rosewell1983 It’s not the looks you know, it’s a matter of attitude! Work on it and you’ll see the results! Mostly it’s self confidence and belief in oneself! I know you can do it!
@Yanis20071967able agreed. i wish i looked as macho as russel crowe
Yaaaaaaaas! Possibly the greatest fuckn film ever made. Kicks ass! Maximus is a lege
