So far the most realistic historical movie on Romans

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2000)

This movie is the most realistic historical movie on Romans produced so far. The first 10 minutes (battle in Germania) are so real that you feel like you just did a time travel. The computer work on ancient Rome is beautiful and pretty much correct. Although the plot is simple, acting is superb. The violence is disturbing, but that only adds to the realism of the movie. Nothing for weak stomachs, but if you can stand the violence, you are in for a treat. One of Ridley Scotts best movies, maybe the best since Alien and Blade Runner.
