Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

It's an amazing TV series and it's worth watching. The story as well as the scenes are excellent.

Did you like the movie gladiator? it's not watered down or drawn on. it's the movie in detail. a story of life as a slave, a fighter a gladiotar. all the training, hardship and period politics of rome all well done. great acting some awesome secondary characters and a mostly true story - i verified the facts btw. can't ask for more

So great!!at first I thought it was going to be just like a movie("300"etc) with no evolution or interest but it turned to an amazing TV series!so real the battles,excellent performances and the Latin speaking ( I mean the structure of the words)make the whole thing like a trip back to time Although there were problems because they had to change actors(Spartacus and Neavia)it still remains exciting!!true feelings,true love with no extra superficial exaggerations and a way to learn how the roman republica became Roman Empire and changed the world's History. A very beautiful story the rebellious Spartacus makes us remember how important is freedom...Crixus,Gannicus,Spartacus amazing actors and role model heroes who inspired us about true friendship and love Negative:I didn't like so much the second Naevia so much as the first one...Positive:gladiators and the Thracian man's story which reminds me my country(Thrace is in Greece)

Ahhhhh, good old ancient Rome, where even the lowliest prostitute looked like a Hollywood model. Roman decadence, Orgies, intrigue, violence and awesome battle scenes with blood spatter in slow motion. This is very good stuff indeed. Throw in lots of naked breasts, (all perfect of course), and we have a winner. (Well, it works very well in Game of Thrones, so why not here ?). So 1st season is great, and 2nd season, (which is a prequel to season 1), is at least as good. Season 3 however is another matter. Uh oh, new Spartacus, (sadly the 1st one died). He is unfortunately replaced by a less talented actor. Same thing goes for Naevia and her replacement is even worse. Indeed it seems like the overall quality has taken a serious dive. The dialogue is stiff and pompous. Probably meant to sound like something out of Homer, but merely coming out as terribly bad grammar. They try to compensate by giving us even more outrageous battles, but it soon gets kinda old. Warriors flying through the air shouting "AAAAAARRRRRRHHHHH", more blood and gore in slow motion, (I can't even begin to imagine how many gallons of fake blood were used), and no really good villain since season 2. It becomes clear how much John Hannah (Batiatus) carried season 1 and 2. OK, we knew he was a bad guy and had it coming, but he's sorely missed. The downward quality trend continues in season 4. Well, to be fair it is still very entertaining and I give it 10 for season 1 and 2 and withdraw 2 stars for each of the following seasons.
