Icons76 I cannot even know where to begin or what to say here. Is this a movie? Uhm.. Maybe. There are some pretty gorgeous locations, but the script, the actors, the direction, SFX, and any technical support, including (ahi ahi!) editing are so plain awful, to look almost virtually amateur. I had heard good things about Stefano Milla. Well, this movie is truly something to stay away from. Most of all, Mr.Milla needs casting advisers! There are so many great,intense, driven, good looking actors, under unemployed and he gets these people? Let me tell you, we are on a "beyond awful" grade here. Juvenile can be fun in 8th grade, but, after that it becomes a place of no return. Felt sadness and disconcert, bore, and, finally,despair: why Italian genre movies have gotten (for the most part) so bad? The only one to stand out seems still to be Ivan Zuccon, who's always has great actors in his films, and, an extreme visual strength. These other guys.. are, well.. not truly able to deliver something professional, or even merely bad, yet.. Just amateur crap.

BlackCrowSA This was a terribly directed and badly put together movie. Even with bad acting, a better script and better editing this could have been a great story, I really wanted to know more.Was very drawn out, and full of over acting. So much so that it was hard to follow what was actually going on.Fight scenes were slow, and very little for a gladiator movie.The one and only good thing about this movie was its location, truly spectacular.I would not recommend watching this movie, unless you like wasting your time. I am sorry I did.

mike-ryan455 First, I will tell what was good. The backdrop was some really spectacular country. A huge castle, a beautiful lake, wonderful meadows and mountains.That was the high point. From there, it all went down hill really fast. I barely could discern a plot. There was a lot of very poorly slashing and hacking by people who couldn't act.There was no "gladiatorial" combat. That was a very specific tradition of fighting. I don't even know why they used the word.A movie like this that teases you with "sensual" needs to have some good get down naked by the end. They didn't.It was like the guy got access to the castle for a weekend and got his buddies to come in and shoot the movie. They wanted to make a Conan movie but what came off was a confusing mess.

Doug C This is the reason I stopped working in Hollywood, amazingly awful movies like this. Please never watch it other than to realize what happens when you shot a film and no one on set has a clue what they are doing.Please whoever made this film bury it and go find something worth while to do like ride a bicycle.There is absolutely not even one shred of acting, directing or cinematography here. a monkey hanging upside down blindfolded would be better.Thank you for wasting my time.
