This is a real Oscar Classic and a real winner and a great cast.

Rome stands alone as imperial hegemon. This film shows us a glimpse of that past.... And if we are not careful... The future.

Fight for honor and sacrifice is the Key to be power amazing music congrats Two Steps From Hell

This movie is great, a lot of money was used to make it you can tell, love that.

Epic storytelling, amazing cinematography, directing and acting Everything in this movie's beyond perfect. Hans Zimmer's music is phenomenal

Honestly just what I expected, in the good way. This movie deserves its title.

Timothy Kerry OMARA

One of the best movies of Ridley Scott’s career. The music, the cinematography, the plot, the quotable moments all make this a BIG winner.

One of the best films I’ve ever seen. Dark and more bloody then how I’d want a steak. Strong acting well shot a little long but still good..

Crowe’s acting is SPECTACULAR. This story of vengeance is amazing. “…And I will get my revenge..in this life or the next” that line is 🔥🔥

The soundtrack and the rythm of the movie are amazing. Crowe in his best role and best physique, Phoenix steals the movie though
