Movie Reviews of Augustus
Movie Review: Incredibly Well Done!! 5 Stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just viewed "Augustus" and was incredibly impressed. I am a World Cultures teacher who has extremely high standards for historical movies. I can tell you that in "Augustus" the producers did a great job at recreating the historical background which in my opinion makes this movie seem very realistic. The costumes and scenery were very impressive, giving you the feel that you are actually viewing a window back to Ancient Rome. I thought the movie did an amazing job of presenting the "political intrigue" of how the politicians of Ancient Rome had to maneuver to achieve their ambitions and goals, and it does not just portray this from the angle of Augustus, but from others such as Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Tiberius, and a cast of characters. This truly gives you the idea of the political environment in which the Roman Empire was born. The characters were portrayed very well, especially that of Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Augustus, and Agrippa, although other characters as well were portrayed in first rate fashion. There are several Roman battle scenes, and you get the feel of what it would have been like on a battlefield as a member of the Roman Legions as they enter into combat. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys historical movies and anyone who wishes to learn more about this time period. Even students of history like myself will greatly enjoy it. In my opinion a five star movie!!
