  1. Maximus was shown getting knocked down a couple of times in the first battle to demonstrate that he can still fight effectively even from a disadvantageous position. That's so when it happens again later (e.g. against Tigris), when we're more invested in this character and his story, this ability won't seem to have come out of nowhere–even if we don't think about this connection, we already know he can get himself out of trouble, so it makes sense.

  2. I think there's hidden storyline in this movie. 17:50 "Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted." That guy seems power hungry. Would be typical Ridley Scott to hide the true story behind the obvious storyline.

  3. In their first fight in the coliseum they were re-enacting a battle where the gladiators on the chariots won. I don't think too many reactions to this movie took notice of that.

  4. I really like how Maximus belay's Quintus' order to move the artillery back then goes to lead the cavalry charge personally despite knowing the danger his own weapons will cause him. It's a brilliant way to demonstrate the main character's bravery and skill as a commander. A lazy writer would have just put in a dialogue scene where someone tells someone else what character traits Maxiumus has.

  5. Another collaboration between Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott I suggest watching is Robin Hood. For a more in-depth look at gladiators, I recommend watching the Starz historical drama Spartacus
