Costumes, drama,action and a cast of thousands!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 1999)

An excellent film. It gives an insight into the world of that time clearly, whilst never "talking down". The film is well balanced, particularly with regard to the Romans.The action scenes are superb and the story moves along well (not bad considering it's over three hours long!) If you like costumes,drama,action and a cast of thousands you'll love this!
