(17%) Although not as awful as many have claimed, this is still really quite poor. The direction is very average to say the least, and is not up to Hammer's usual high standard from around this period, also the editing is really awful at times, and the script is pretty dire. On a plus note the costumes, particularly the Roman ones, are really well done, so at least someone was on the ball, and for a PG there is a surprising amount of bare naked (well almost) ladies on screen, but it is not enough to save the movie from its very poor action sequences, dull pacing and lack of decent performances. One for Hammer die-hards only, everyone else should stay well away.
