Gladiator

Of course there probably no one out there who hasn't seen this immensely entertaining film, if there is then I highly recommend you watch it. I thought this was a good starting point for my blog because it is one of the most well known and most inspiring films ever made. Gladiator is a film which has successfully tailored everything needed in a film to make it great. Starting from its gruesome fight scenes to the emotional impact the storyline has upon you, this is not just another common action film which shows you nothing but blood and gore.

Gladiator is a story about a roman general who despite his profound skill to lead the roman armies is betrayed by the emperors son, Commodus. Despite this betrayal maximums survives his own executes and is plunges into slavery as a roman gladiator. His natural skill as both a fighter and a leaders leads Maximus to eventually meet the emperor once again on the sands of the arena only to face his death. The story displays a relatively fictional aspect of roman life, but none the less is a great film.

I would rate this movie a 10, due to its graphically qualities in the arena along with the fact that its storyline is able to keep you ensnared right up until the end.
