if this be go to have a theatrical release in the u this be go to bomb big time . a very dissapointing film and with the occasional good momment and but the bad thing be the typical trates of itv drama that have creep in . the tendancy for everyone behind the scene to try and stand out from the crowd by throw in their own little bit . a a result what could have be a good film be pretty much destroy . the beginning and end be just downright patronising and the scene in rome ( which seem there entirely to emphasise that nero be as nutty a a fruit cake ) be pretty redundant . there be however a few good battle scene and some good acting . on the whole though it be just bad camera work and bad directing and poor script and feeble attempt to shock the audience and very little genuine authenticity . i rat this at a 4/10 but have it not be for the unprofessional start and end it could have scrap a 6/10 because there be enough reasonable content here to make this film enjoyable at least for a one off view . if you see this film on tv and like ancient history and legends it worth a watch and but whatever you do do not pay to see this in a movie theatre because this be a long way off be anything other then a tv movie .
