Negative Positive
Title: god-awful
Review: This was a real disappointment. It has the look of a made-for-TV film and perhaps it was. I don't care to find out. But the small numbers of soldiers in the "battles" and the small and cheaply made sets remind me of that terrible cyclops in Rome made-for-TV show with poor old Eric Roberts looking as out of his element in that one as Powers Boothe looks in Attila. Boothe looked so wrong for the part he might as well have been wearing a leisure suit in Brooklyn instead of Roman leather and metal and I was surprised at how bad his acting was. And other casting was terrible right down to warm, loving, sensitive, blue-eyed Huns. Nearly the entire show is about the personal animosities of various individuals. More of a soap opera than an epic. There's even a character who uses sympathetic magic to suffer the wounds of Attila at a distance! Garbage is the best word for it.
