Title: Not my usual type of moving but just had to have it!
Review: I am really not a fan of blood, guts, testosterone driven movies, but I do love this movie. Perhaps because there is an actual story line or because there is some inclusion of real (not to say strictly accurate) history of the Roman Empire, it is one of few modern movies that is a 'go to' when broadcast on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Decided I should really own it; the snob in me justifying the 2 hours of eye candy Russell Crowe, with smugness of having read Marcus Aurelius, let alone knowing who he was!
Is the review positive or negative?
