Movie Reviews of Rome: The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Wonderful historical fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another wonderful series from HBO. The major events are historically accurate with detailed fiction woven in elegantly. Pay attention to the small things, like innerworkings of the Roman army and what different classes of people are eating for dinner. This might be the best depiction of "everyday Rome" on film. If you enjoy top notch drama and/or are a history buff this series is worth your time.Movie Review: this show is wonderful! (but not for the squeamish)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, who is a history buff. I didn't expect to like the show as much as I did. He loves the action/fighting and I love the drama and sex scenes. We both appreciate the historical accuracy (the plot is mostly fiction, but the characters and broad events are very educational). The actors are excellent, the costumes and scenery are elaborate, the writing is good. Overall, it's a fantastic show.Movie Review: Rome 1st Year
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoyed Rome on HBO you can see it again and see some of the finer parts that were missed the first time.Movie Review: Real enough
Summary: 5 Stars
The first season is brilliant. And it needed an HBO to do the topic justice. You need the freedom to depict sex and violence clearly, or theres no point to any of it. The Rome series depicts as much as can be expected in terms of realism; any more graphic, and it might be a turn-off. I dont think anyone really wants to see the kinds of things that actually happened in depth. The way some were forced to die is too ghastly to dwell upon. Movie Review: Great Season One!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps the most compelling and creative series created by HBO. When you are watching it actually feels like you are visiting Ancient Rome. The direction, music and the acting are top notch. All of the actors are outstanding. Probably the most accurate piece ever made on Ancient Rome. This is just not entertainment it is much more than that. The dirty politics, the lifestyles, romance, history, war....Everything is there. This an Unbelievable achievement by HBO. Too bad it was cut too short. Even for its 2 seasons it is well worth buying this series. Highly Recommended!
