This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This absolutely has to be the worst movie with what seems to have been quite a high budget. There was a horrible film called The Strand back in the 1990's, and I thought that was as low as it's possible to get in film making, but I was wrong. Ed Wood is spinning repeatedly around in his grave, urging to come back and make a gladiator movie. But he won't ever be able to make one this bad. That's simply impossible. I really don't get why anybody have bothered to create or take part in this, no more than I get why I even bother to write this review. Are Sharon Fryer's clearly visible bumps the whole idea behind making all this nonsense, and the only reason for giving it more than one star? Maybe so. 1,7 is the lowest score I've seen so far in IMDb. Alright then, I actually think some of the light setting was quite good, but that's just because I pity those in this production who actually have some talent. With the size of the budget spent on this rotten egg, someone could really make something, but no. The director's touch in this is just a handful of nothing.

As much as I enjoy fantasy movies then "Kingdom of Gladiators" was not a movie that impressed. In fact, I should have taken heed to the many bad reviews and the very low rating that the movie had. But hand on heart, then I didn't find it fully as bad as the rating the movie had scored made it out to be.The storyline in the movie was so simplistic that it bordered on stupidity and downright boredom. A king makes a pact with a demon to save his kingdom, but at the cost of his newborn daughter. Now the daughter has returned years later, but so had a brooding darkness.There wasn't much appeal in the movie, and certain things were just ludicrous. For example, the performance of Bryan Murphy and the way he delivered his dialogue. It was just gruesome to witness. And some of the music was so wrongly picked for the movie; you can't have modern day music in a medieval fantasy movie. However, the worst thing was the guy with the tattoos, especially since he had a tattoo of a green colored bomb with a smiley face and the word "revolution" written across it. Seriously? They had done nothing to cover up his modern day hipster tattoos. It was so bad! That is one of the worst fails I have ever seen in a movie. And the fight scenes were poorly choreographed and very rigid.However, it should also be said that the locations and scenery throughout the movie was quite spectacular. And for the most parts then the music was really quite nice.All in all, not a memorable or impressive movie. And if you enjoy fantasy movies, take heed and stay well clear of "Kingdom of Gladiators".

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.

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.
