A ROUSING GOOD EPIC ADVENTUR
When I first heard about this movie I became intrigued. Would the director do justice to the period? Wow!! He sure did. Would the actors do the job required to make the period come to life for us viewers? Mr. Crowe et.al. have surpassed my wildest dreams. As a student of ancient history I found very little to fault this movie on. The Carthage battle had female gladiators in it and that wouldn't have occured in Ancient Rome. Women never fought men. The second DVD is as good as the movie. The different subjects are very helpful to the novice. Since purchasing this DVD I have searched for earlier films with Russell Crowe. His earlier films are delightful and quirky. They won't let you down. All of the actors in this movie did outstanding work. This movie is definitely one you will watch over and over again.
