This is still an epic story that takes history as a starting point and builds on it something striking indeed.
This is not because it is “historically inaccurate” (it was never meant to be a documentary), but because it verges on melodrama (Lucilla and Maximus) and towards the end slips too much into cloak-and-dagger antics (Gracchus as a buyer) or almost farcically contrived giveaways (Lucius playing “Maximus, the saviour of Rome”). The script is the only slightly imperfect part. Gladiator is not merely the first of them. Master and Commander (2003), Troy (2004), Alexander (2004), King Arthur (2004), Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Robin Hood (2010) are only the most notable members of this company.
