A Recommendable Film

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2012)

You don't see too many movies within this time period and setting, and very few involving Ancient Rome to begin with. Overall, this movie was great to watch, though it was more on the entertainment aspect (there weren't too many historical errors either, which is something I really pay attention to). The reasoning behind giving it a 7-star review is the fact that some of the scenes are just sort of awkward, with unusual transitions or something of the sort. Acting-wise, I felt that it had a great selection of cast members, especially Liam Cunningham (I loved his part playing Davos Seaworthy in the HBO series based on A Song of Ice and Fire)! And of course, how can anyone forget Michael Fassbender? Aside from the few inept scenes, this should absolutely be a recommended film to watch, especially while it's still on Netflix Instant!
