  Nice heroine, mediocre movie
  
  This is probably one of the most disjointed movies I have ever seen in my life. It is hard to describe what this movie is. It seems to be attempting to be both ... read more »

  A mediocre book made into a poor film
  
  This film was based around the book of the same title by Valerio Massimo. I have read the book and thought that it was watery, especially compared to other ... read more »

  I had read the book on which this film is based, and thought it was superb, however the film is a million miles away.

  Don't bother, seriously!
  
  God awful corny tripe. It was like watching a bad version of Xena or Hercules
  
  I thought Colin Firth was meant to be a respectful actor

  A Waste of Everyone's Time
  
  Colin Firth plays Colin Firth. My goodness what a tiresome pile of mediocre. Entirely unconvincing, even Kingsley looks like a newbie in a B rate. Avoid.

  this one for the kids
  
  This is a children's movie really. A good one for nine-year olds with plastic swords.

  The Adventures of Romulus Augustus
  
  Like a certain Errol Flynn movie made in 1938, this film is based on known facts, some legends and the imagination of a team of scriptwriters.

  Entertaining!
  
  You don't have to think too deeply, this is just an entertaining 'historical' romp. Good fun.
