Audience Member I really enjoy this movie. I admire the director's work and the acting prowess of all the performers, but especially of Donald Sutherland, Channing Tatum, and Jaymie Bell. Their performances are outstanding, and the dialogue, cinematography, and plot are all spot on. It's enjoyable to watch an ancient Rome movie once more after occasionally watching The Gladiator, and Channing Totum deserves praise for his portrayal of the character. Based on their expectations, past performance, and ego, I wonder how in the world Rotten Tomatoes rated it as low as 39%. Come on, this is a movie, it's supposed to be entertaining.

A really enjoyable film with solid acting, and unique story line. Great adventure and look at the conquering nature of the Roman empire. Enjoyed it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Ben M This is a really bloody poor film. I love films about Rome, the medieval period, Scotland - it should be right up my street. But it's just really poorly written, the story and characters aren't engaging, some of the costuming is quite silly. Tatum is a really poor actor, like I didn't realise how bad he is til I saw this. Also, they must have had a tight budget, at one point they CGI a small funeral pyre and it's painfully obvious. Even if you're into this type of film, it's one to avoid. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Henry W One of the worst movies I've ever paid for to sit through. I saw it when it came out, back in 2011. Good points: the costumes were pretty cool, except for all the cotton. It looked nice. And... well, that's it. Oh, and it was kind of funny, but only unintentionally so. Another customer at the showing (which was sparsely populated) summed up my opinion really well. As they roll the credits, he just said loud enough for everyone to hear, "Well...that SUCKED." Everyone in the theatre laughed, because we were all thinking the same thing... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Brian B Despite all the bad reviews this works well as an action movie and the sacenery is wonderful. The acting might not be as good but it is more than adequate and I think that Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell build up a credible relationship the twists and turns of which are nicely portrayed. All in all it does the book, on which it is based, justice, is enjoyable, accurate enough for the casual historian and it is entertaining. I would certainly recoomend it to those who like a bit of historical faction. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
