If you're looking for yet one more gladiator movie, this is for you. However, if you require a certain amount of historical accuracy in your drama, check out the British TV classic, "I, Claudius."

The movie attempts to delve more into actual history, but I found it somewhat boring. Perhaps if it is watched in parts, a week apart, it would hold together better. As it is, it was slow moving and not all that interesting. You'd be better off watching Russell Crowe's "Gladiator." Although that is fiction, I wonder how much in this movie was exactly accurate. It is attractive to look at and if you hadn't enough of gladiators and vile Roman's, than this movie is for you.
