Sexylocher Masterful Movie

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

rustalant I have been disappointed by this movie. It is a stupid American interpretation of the historical events. It is absolutely unbelievable to see that in the times of the Roman Empire according to the movie, there are women in the Senate, girls are going out with men to restaurants!!!!! and Julius Caesar is presented as young and foolish boy with serious disease. Please, don't watch this movie if you know something about the Roman Empire. Although, I can admit that Pompey ( I am sorry but for me, it will always be Mr Big) is playing very well, Sulla's actor too but unfortunately, this is not enough to make the movie watchable. The women are very poor actresses which is not helping too much either. I was expecting a lot from this movie and I regret to say that none of my expectations have been met. Don't waste your time.

dh1897 My comments are mainly about the already existing comments which are nonsensical. Firstly, someone writes that it is a goof that Caesar claims to be a descendant of Venus, and that Venus is the Greek name, whereas the roman is Aphrodite. THAT is not the case: Venus is the roman name, and Aphrodite the Greek. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of mythology can tell you that.One should not write what one does not know about.Secondly, there is a grave error in the summary: Brutus is NOT the nephew of Caesar but of Cato. Caesar had a very famous grand nephew named Gaius Octavian, aka Emperor Augustus, who is not depicted in the film but mentioned in the end credits.I think it is OK for TV movie, but like most Roman films the "liberties" with historical facts annoys me. Still, it is far more correct than most of its ilk. A bit rushed at times, but fairly entertaining if you're into roman history.

Ben V. Okay, I'll say that I enjoyed this film, at least from about halfway through until the end. The big names (Walken, Harris, Noth) piqued my interests, so I took a shot.The directing, in my opinion, is what made this poorer than it could have been (I wasn't aware that it was a made-for-TV film either). I think that, though it took me a bit to warm up to him, Sisto did a good job. Both his voice and his facial expressions are commanding, though the director would have been smart to have him lift weights for a couple months (same with the actor who played Antony) to make it more believable. The pretty boy appearance for great warriors kinda takes away from the overall value.On the up side, it's a wholesome film that kids can watch and actually learn something - a concept that's becoming more and more a rarity.Walken's and Noth's roles were supportive enough to make it work. Again, though, I just remember sitting there saying to myself, "If this had a decent director, it could go somewhere." Too much of a newbie feel to it. Otherwise it was quite enjoyable, with the exception of the last scene of the film ending too abruptly.7/10.BV

Tyhmä Nimi Just as I expected, the film contains tons of factual errors but I won't go into all that. I just want to get past that and fast.The biggest problem (and the reason I'm writing this) is the main leading actor. First of all, he doesn't physically look like the man he is supposed to. Secondly, his behavior is very timid and cautious. This guy doesn't have the elegance and determination that the dictator had. No sign of the genius. Why for the love of coffee was he cast?! Also, he is being portrayed as modern man with modern values so that the modern audience could relate to him easily.I guess it's because the movie makers need the money and audience is money. The other possibility is that they simply have not known what they were dealing with here. As this is a movie about one particular man, the main character is the single most important thing. I just can't recognize him from this product. These historical movies offer false history and many many people will live in lies because of these. It's a pity.
