That scene was the center point of the movie. This scene made people really get into the movie and put them on the eage of their seats.

One or two more fight scenes wouldn't have hurt.
            
             What makes Gladiator unique is that, it takes you and make you feel the characters feelings. You could feel Marcus Aurelius pain as a father, you could feel Commodus madness and pain as Marcus Aurelius' son, and you could feel Maximus pain for his family and his vengeance towards Commodus. The movie made you feel all that. Gladiator is also unique because they had the right actors for the characters. I re...
