This miniseries lacked proper editing and has the most long winded screenplay. There are endless conversations in Royal Shakespeare Company accents between the Roman soldiers and legions about nothing significant. If it had been about half the time it would have been more exciting. Every scene is dragged out and there are many repetitive parts.
Peter O'Toole looks a bit tired and not too military in bearing. His mistress is played by a lovely Barabara Carrera. Peter Strauss is earnest and at least they gave him dark hair to be more convincing.
It felt as long as the siege. It is interesting to find out what happened in the end but don't be afraid to use the fast forward button.
