A Masterpiece by Kirk Douglas and Stanley Kubrick

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2010)

Just want to say that, compared to this epic, Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000) is something like a fairy tale.
This great movie describes a real, cruel and sad life of gladiators in Roman era.
Of this movie, I like the first third and the last battle scene. The middle part is a little bit boring.
And, it is a regret that how Spartacus rises from a slave gladiator to a leader and his many defeating of Roman armies are not given proper due.
Furthermore, I am wondering that if Stanley gets full control of directing this movie, what it will be?
