tazinib1 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Just got NetFlicks and I'm on Episode 5. I couldn't give this thing a higher rating than Total Kick @SS. HIGHLY recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I watched the first two or three episodes. I love dang near everything ancient Rome - but could not get past how over sylized it was enough to take it seriously. Perhaps I need to give it another watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Boobs. Decent fight scenes. Not much beyond that, but for an escape it provides decent enough entertainment. Don't watch it with the kiddos around. Netflix must have some sweet deal to be streaming this already, as it is very new to Starz and only about 6 or 7 episodes in.

I love dang near everything ancient Rome - but could not get past how over sylized it was enough to take it seriously. Perhaps I need to give it another watch not sure what you mean here.... I just started watching the show about 2 weeks ago...I ordered Starz just to watch it and am caught up on the 7 or 8 episodes... great show here and it's a mix of Gladiator and 300 chopped up into a weekly series... there is however a bit more nudity than anyone would expect unless you've seen Caligula..... so I will warn anyone who wants to watch the show, but hasn't....there's quite a bit of man junk in the show, but lots of also....so it at least tries to balance it out.. regardless....this is my favorite show right now..

Netflix must have some sweet deal to be streaming this already, as it is very new to Starz and only about 6 or 7 episodes in. +1 The acting is pretty brutal but there's enough nekkid wimmens, sex, and violence to make it watchable on nights where there's not much else on. The last episode I saw was titled simply "Whore". That should tell you something about it right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Entertainment is all I want. If I want heavy, I'll rent "Precious". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Entertainment is all I want. If I want heavy, I'll rent "Precious". lol...its a man show 100%. I'm not watching it for the directing,cinematography or any of the other crap I usually give a rats @ss about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I wanted to like it, but didn't. It soooooo wanted to be Frank Miller-esque. Fail. It'd have been a better platform for a porno series, assuming people even make those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 there is however a bit more nudity than anyone would expect unless you've seen Caligula..... Saw this was on last night but didn't bother tuning in. Caligula.......truly a great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip_Side Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Im a huge fan of everything gladiator, ancient rome, and fighting but this show was absolutely atrocious.

I couldn't make it through the first episode, it looks like a computer video game. couldn't agree more - Starz is a few years late with this chit, post Gladiator and Rome. The special effects are a joke and I just can't get past them - just brutal...... throw in the bad acting and a big no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 not sure what you mean here.... really? the silly blood and slowmo doesn't seem a little gimicky to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 really? the silly blood and slowmo doesn't seem a little gimicky to you? I got past the silly blood pretty easily. Showing a massive amount of boob shots will get me over pretty much anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 really? the silly blood and slowmo doesn't seem a little gimicky to you? I was questioning the word more than your statement.....I wasn't sure what you were saying... and they are clearly trying too hard with the blood and nudity....but I still accept it for what it is..

Flip_Side Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I totally take back whatever negative things I said about this show. I gave it another try and I'm hooked, its my favorite show out by far, over Lost and 24. Still some weird computer graphics but once you get past that the storyline is pretty intriguing Edited April 2, 2010 by Flip_Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
