If Maximus had standard issue, General or Centurian weapons and armor he would rock Katsamoto. I don't see any Samurai ever beating a trained soldier with a curved shield and short sword. Without a proper steel sword or shield, however, there is no way that he will be able to stave off the attacks from a master samurai.
My name is Gladiator.
How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
RAWR!

The win on that so severely overwhelms anything Last Samurai had.

I know right? I could quote that movie as much as I quote Anchorman. If the Last Samurai was actually Katsomoto instead of Nathan I would of loved it a lot more. The only real memorable quote from that movie I remember is Katsomoto's poem.

Apparently that was an uneasy set. Too glossy to have any grasp to be a classic. Every scene played predictably. I only liked the ninja attack scene.
Whereas Gladiator rode that line between cheese/reality so well that there was no reason to believe that this wasn't the way it actually went down. Considering the environment.

That's because Russell Crowe owns the life out of Tom Cruise on any given day. Plus the set designs, and costume designers were just way better. Everything was just way better.
Russell Crow in Robin Hood looks just like my Dad. Makes me laugh everytime. Russell has edge.
Yeah Cruise killed that movie.
It's like he had to be pretty to relate to Japanese but in the end had no idea what the situation would have demanded spiritually.
The guy was trained by the Last Samurai show some balls.
