Reviews
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
arnoudwokke First of all: the trailer IMDB is showing on top of this page is not a right one; it's one from a very old movie instead. This is a great movie/miniseries on Julius Caesar. The facts are not way off - just a little bit for drama effect, but it's fictionalized after all. Most of the basic points are spot on. Most of all: the acting in this is great and the writing is amazing as well. The lines are memorable. It's long to watch - over 2,5 hours - but it's well worth it.
a m made for TV movies are generally looked down upon, and rightly so, many of them are not as finely crafted as this one. I was quite pleasantly surprised by this film, it has a few inaccuracies, such as the non-existent Crasus who was a part of the triumvirate, however, other than this, i found it quite delightful. Sulla was perhaps one of the best villains i have ever seen, and Julius Caesar was not just the caricature he was a living breathing human. Jeremy Sisto seems to have something, though i confess i am not sure what it was. there was a great deal of vibrance and energy in the project. kudos to the fantastic director and the way he pulled together a string of events to create such a lavish and lovable movie. this sounds silly but i did cry at the end, it was so sad to see Caesar with all his good intentions killed in cold blood. if only they had added the final speech by Antony....
marin_pamela Having been obsessed by Cato the Younger for many years, I received my M.Phil from Oxford with my thesis: Cato the Younger: The Beginnings of his Political Career in the 60s BCE, and my PH.D on: Cato the Younger - Myth and Reality, I was apprehensive about watching this film. However, Christopher Walken was excellent in his portrayal of Cato the Younger. Shunning the more Ciceronian approach, the main thrust of the character was to warn against any individual assuming extraordinary power, in the first instance, Pompey, and much later in the film, Caesar. The warnings of Cato were well acknowledged by the Senate (contrary to the film) and indeed, his influence caused the Senate to refuse Caesar the opportunity to return to Rome as a free citizen, e.g. numerous individuals, including Cato, said that they would prosecute Caesar for his illegal activities whilst consul in 59 BCE. Regardless of the historical inaccuracies in this film (and there are many), nevertheless Walken's performance of Cato is what made this film excellent in my view.
Jay Jedi I am reading Conn Iggulden's books at the moment. and although he changed a little bit of the real story in favor of the book, the books are close to the real live of Caesar.The movie is bad cause it does not do justice to the man Caesar was...The acting was not good, only Richard Harris was really good as Sulla, he will be missed...I really hope that a man like for instance Peter Jackson is willing to pick up the story of Conn Iggulden's Caesar. It has CLASSIC written all over it...But this movie...I'm sorry..
