Entertaining Male Bonding

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2013)

Good: Great scenery, battle scenes, especially the first epic one, the manly scent of Old Spice Bad: Plot inconsistencies, silly episode with wolves and bad apple betrayer, very unnecessary Ugly: Gorgeous babes, fully made up, living in the primitive bush, kicking butt in 117AD. Leave the gorgeous babes for the porno flicks, for goodness sakes. It really annoys me, when directors, whom one would assume have some brains, keep on casting all the main characters, who look like photography models. I guess it's the "Suits", as well as our glamour- crazy culture. Especially, since this is a pseudo-historical story, I would appreciate, as much realism as possible. The movie was entertaining, in an action,"always on the run" sort of way, although the first set piece stood out over the remaining 3/4 of the film, making it a bit of a let down.
