Title: Don't waste 2 1/2 hours of your life
Review: I didn't find this movie that much of an attention grabber. The storyline was very slow and very long. You have to really be interested in ancient Rome to enjoy this movie. Or just be into Russel Crowe. I also found the storyline hard to follow. One of the only good things that caught my eye, or my ear I should say, was the soundtrack. The composer did an excellent job with the soundtrack.The other thing that caught my eye was some of the special effects.The acting by Joaquin Phoenix was just atrocious. I can't believe they made this guy such a cry baby. His mellowdramatic scenes were some of the worst that I had ever seenI would only recommend this to someone that really likes Russel Crowe. Women, I have to tell you, you don't see that much of him. In fact, they must have run around everywhere wearing armor, because that's pretty much what he wore the whole movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
