Well, I actually quite enjoyed that. yes it was predictable in making out that the Romans were terrible people and everyone else was in varying degrees, abused by them but got the last laugh srt of thing but it was well made; special effects well done and did not overwhelm the film and acting was reasonable too. 8/10(modern film rating) and would watch again. Recommended !!Quote:

You of course will need to like Sly and Arnie to enjoy I'd say but fortunately I do. Both in their 60's and still fit and able, this fairly rattles along, and is a popcorn and beer, sitdown, put out the lights and forget your troubles film. Highly recommended.
A nice wee film to watch before you have your dinner:

Red Monarch Directored by Jack Gold and starring Colin Blakely as Uncle Joe Stalin. Brian Glover plays Nikita Kruschev and David Suchet, Beria. Fantastic black comedy this as Stalin begins to see his politburo inner circle as untrustworthy .............Made in 1983, this was Blakely's last film

War and remembrance; the final chapter....Includes the harrowing scenes of the Jewish slaughter. not for the feint hearted
Thats it finished. been a marathon over last month or so and worthy of more interest than has been shown to it. Very moving. I wanted to see it again so managed to buy the thing. costs a fortune compared to the first series but worth every penny. Everyone should watch this at least twice.Quote:
