Enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2000)

A very entertaining movie with a reasonable storyline. More flashy but not as good as "The fall of the Roman Empire" which had better acting.
The action footage was excellent but some of the character to character dialogue could have been improved, also the actor playing Commodus wasn't very convincing. Special effects were excellent, the creation of the atmosphere of the Colosseum was breathtaking. You felt like you were there.
Opening battle scene was brilliant. Go see it!
