I thought the movie was not bad at all. One person who commented on this movie said it was boring, well it was not Gladiator if that is what you wanted to see. It was about the resistance of people who believed in Christ and were persecuted by the Caesar. I thought the acting was good. The lion scene could have been a better.
This movie has very much dialogue and not much action but I believe that is what they wanted - not a Gladiator type movie. They focused on the theme and a love story. If they had done more action, the movie would be 4hours. It was almost 3.
Had they made it into a Gladiator type movie then they would have been criticized for trying to cash in on Gladiator popularity. I
If I were to give a best actor award I would have given it to Boguslaw Linda who played Petronius.
Even though it is not the best movie - I would recommend a person see this movie once for a history lesson.
