No story, no content, just free violence

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2013)

For those who have studied or read about the decline of the Roman Empire, you will feel like you are sitting in the Colliseum watching Gladiators fighting to death. Kill or get killed, that how this movie can be summarized.
After all the excitement I read about it, I decided to watch it. I am so disappointed to see our society back 2000 years ago when Romans would sit in an arena (now we sit in front of the TV), watch the Gladiators forced to fight and get excited every time one would fall.
The only reason I gave one star is that there was no possibility to give zero. The most worrying thing is to hear teens saying how cool the movie is. A similar movie that would tell the story of real Gladiators and their conditions would be much more entertaining yet informative. Oups! Did I say informative? Sorry, that was not the goal of the movie.
No story. No morale. Just cheap, cruel entertainment.
