Roman epics are almost never accurate, which is my biggest pet peeve about them. I cringed at Gladiator, which literally looked as though it was taking place in the medieval era.

This was pale and boring compared to Ben Hur.

It was but as the original poster pointed out it did look epic.

True, the scenes are stunning, I am watching it now.

Cool! Have you seen many of the Roman epics? What's the favorite so far?

[–] Popcorngal (4937) 9 months ago

Which epics are you referring to? I saw Spartacus a few years ago.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (9443) 9 months ago

Spartacus, one of the best movies ever made.
