Title: Lots of Violence, Little Plot
Product review: I received Spartacus: Gods of the Arena through Amazon Vine for review. As an action film fan, I was curious. I'm so glad I didn't pay for it, as I couldn't finish watching. There aren't many films that I'll stop watching purely because of content, but after almost five solid minutes of stylized violence and gore straight from a horror movie, I had more than enough. Yes, the gladiator sport was a bloody one, but it's not something I want to see glorified. It was violence just for the shock value. Still, I tried fast-forwarding through the bloody scenes to get to the talking/plot. But there doesn't seem to be much. I haven't seen any of the rest of this series, since I don't have the Starz channel. And I was immediately lost. Unfortunately, this show just wasn't for me.
