Take the good things from this movie

It seems that historically based movies suffer from the critics as much as horror features do. While this is not an outstanding piece of cinema, it succeeds in showing the last days of the Roman campaign against gaulic celts. Acting is not very good (Christopher Lambert never been a good actor), but I liked the scenary and the movie pace. At the end, an entertaining movie where you learn some about the history of Roman conquest in western Europe. Lastly, a descent movie for the price. May 21, 2008

WTF!

Simply a tie-breaker for the WORST film in history (the other being HP Lovecraft's "The Tomb"). Take my advice and avoid these films if you have ANY self-value. March 13, 2008

Who did the hairstyles for these bad actors?

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen? The actors mostly seem like extras that have had no previous acting experience. The script seems like it was written by a high schooler. The direction is awful too.

And.. who is the hairstylist for these actors? Talk about bad hair. The lead character played by Chistopher Lambert looks like Dana Carvey straight out of Wayne's World. Every actor in this movie has a very, very distracting hairstyle. I didn't know they had hair mousse in Julius Caesar's time.

It's hard to make it through this movie. It has a made for tv feel throughout and it just one poor attempt at movie making. Do NOT buy this movie before renting it first. You will most likely be very sorry for doing so.

Typical Lambert

The only actor I knew in this movie was Lambert. I have never been a fan of his but figured give it a shot as a rental. Well it is a typical Lambert movie only worse. At least in Highlander the script and other actors around Lambert were good. In this movie (which has very little to do with Druids) the script was bad, and the other actors were bad. No one there to save Lambert from his dreadful lisp (get the cotton out of your mouth, even Barbara Walters learned how to get over a speech impediment). Of course there were some historical highlights that a previous review posted, as well as a few anomlies. But the one incorrect thing they put into the movie was the made the leader of the Tuetons a head hunter. It was the Celts who were "Head-Hunters", after a battle the Celts would collect the heads of important enemies. November 25, 2007

Very, Very, Very Bad. (Doesn't even deserve one star.)

Cinematic's throw-up. History's crap. The music sucks, and the plot is horrible. It was a Braveheart wanna-bee that could never stand up to it.

First of all, the acting was mediocre, and the directing left a lot to be desired. What is going on with the storyline? Who? What? Oh my god they lost me again!... and I studied Roman history for a good portion of my life, so if anyone should be into a movie like this, it should be me.

Secondly, and I am getting specific now, the Roman legions does not consist of 20 guys who are chomping at the bit to get laid. They wouldn't care if girls flashed them on a wall, and if they did, and broke line, the commander wouldn't smirk with entertainment. He would order the archers to KILL HIM on the spot! They didn't NEED to break line to flip out about breasts, they could (and always did) just have their way with them later.

This movie was the biggest waste of 3 dollars EVER. Don't waste your time. February 15, 2007
