I won't even bother mentioning Spartacus!

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2000)

I saw this film with, would you believe, very little prior knowledge. All i had heard was that it was to be a movie of epic proportions, good looking and fast moving. Well yes, it looked good and yes, the gladitorial sequences were good but little else and when you've got that much money to use then what do you expect. I'm sorry to have to point this out but it really doesn't take that much talent to make what is an essentially predictable and some what dull film with a spattering of nice effects on a film that only seemed to have a budget of epic proportions! So please people, stop giving this movie more credit than it deserves and then maybe when this much is continued to be spent on films(which i don't deny will happen), it will be put to far better use.
