Title: DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
Review: A remake, in any form, should offer something new (if not a better concept than the original). This mini-series lives up to "mini". Mini talent in almost every aspect: script, direction, music, acting. This version of SPARTACUS is pedestrain on all levels, except (possibly) the production level, (sets & costumes) it's not too shabby.Mr. Visnjic has the charsima of a carrot - Ms. Mitra, is a bore. Who would care about these two dullards (certainly not a force that challenged mighty Rome).The "score" is as rousing as elevator "music". The direction, that of a hack - a pick up your paycheck and have a beer at the corner saloon sort of thing.The fattie who played Batiatus is the exception in this mini effort - a good actor, a job well done."If it ain't broke, don't fix it." SPARTACUS (1961) is a magnificent classic, (with an unbelievable cast: The late, superb, Simmons, Ustinov, Laughton, Olivier) not this mouse!
