This is a great, but extremley violent epic battle movie. Another good movie I've reviewed.

One of the best movies I've seen. The acting and storyline are both great. There's a little bit of violence, but nothing that is really disturbing (besides the kid getting run over by horses)

This was a great movie, but it was very, very disturbing. The blood and violence didn't bother me very much - it was more of the theme of killing people for sport and the crowd egging on murder that disturbed me. The parts that disturbed me the most were when a man smothered his father to death and when the murders of a characters' wife and child are described. The woman was r***d, then crucified and burned, and the child was crucified and burned (this is NOT shown, but it is talked about and in one scene you see just the feet of their burnt bodies hanging from the crosses). The most graphic reference to this is "They tell me the child squealed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross", and "Your wife moaned (or wailed, I forget which word they used) like a w**** when they r***ged her again, and again, and again". Language includes one use each of the words: h***, $***h***, b!***, w****. A brother tries to get his sister to kiss him and have --- with him, and sometimes appears to ---ually abuse her, but there is no actual kissing or @#$ shown between the brother and sister. Overall, this is a very adult, violent, graphic, and disturbing movie, and is definitely not for kids. Off for ages 15 and under, iffy for ages 16-18, on for ages 18+.

Wonderful and amazing movie. Just amazing.

This movie is utterly amazing. Russell Crowe is simply magnificent! The way how this movie is portrayed is quite impressive and realistic. The main concerns are: (i) the violent action scenes, especially when the woman and the child are brutally tortured and when Commodus murders his own father for the throne and (ii) references to incest. The violence is the main reason why I rate this movie for 15 of age and above. Can't wait to watch Robin Hood of the same director!

This is my all-time favorite movie. The cinematography, acting, and action sequences are superb. Not to mention the amazing storyline of epic proportions. However, this movie is clearly not for children, and maybe too intense for a gore-loving teenager. I guess it all depends on the maturity level of said teen watching the film. If he is the type that shouts "LOOK AT ALL THAT BLOOD! WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT GUY'S HEAD FLY OFF!?" would it be a good thing to fuel his bloodlust? Know your kid and use your good judgment for this rollercoaster of a movie.

The only thing with this is violence. Not really blood, just violence. The fight scenes in the movie are relatively sparse, and when someone dies the camera cuts away. There are like three swear words throughout the whole thing. The only sexual part is when the emperor tells Maximus that his wife "moaned like a whore." Overall, a terrific movie and good for twelve and up.

i am a 10 year old not an adult and i have seen this 2 times it is a great movie the violence is strong but the story is great there is one gross scene involving maggots
