I thought this movie would be sexier, and funnier. It starts out that way, but then it ends up getting pretty stupid and pathetic and being the most lame attempt at a message about womens liberation I have ever seen and the last half is just disappointing. It starts out being about sexy slave girls who get naked sometimes and have sex with gladiators and are in other sexual scenarios, and then are forced to fight each other and do so haphazardly like they don't know what they are doing because they are untrained women who have never fought before....to suddenly after just a week of fighting they stage a revolt and miraculously somehow their level of fighting skill changes and they are now able to fight off droves of roman soldiers in order to escape, and its suddenly the highly trained roman soldiers who don't have fighting skills and are somehow not even able to beat these untrained women. I should have stopped watching but I thought it would go back to being sexy and fun but it never did. Really disappointing.
