Movie Reviews of Spartacus
Movie Review: Eyes to Die For
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this movie, I was young enough to fall in love with Jean Simmons. Her eyes were enough to drown in. Surely Spartacus would fall in love with such a woman. Those who watch the DVD will miss the effect of the overture played with cutains closed or the true visual size of the movie, but will be captured by an intelligent script, outstanding actors, and battle sequences that inspired "Braveheart". When you finish the film, read about Dalton Trumball and the blacklist to further appreciate the significance of the film and the courage shown by Douglas. Not as action filled as much as today's summer films, unless you account for action of the mind. A great movie.Movie Review: Magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars
Why Stanley Kubrick ever disowned this movie is a mystery to me - especially when you compare it to such offerings as "Eyes Wide Shut."Not a great deal is known of the actual Spartacus, who led a slave revolt which challenged the vast power of Rome at its height. And, predictably, 1960 Hollywood romanticized the story to its fullest extent. But it remains an awesome epic of loss, misery, defeat and yet, somehow, also of hope.
The cast is among the finest ever assembled. Kubrick's work is stunning, and even after 41 years, the battle scenes are striking.
Forget about the computer-generated "Gladiator." Buy "Spartacus" and revel in it.
Movie Review: MOVING, MAJESTIC
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget the trumped up digital hocus pocus of the empty-headed Gladiator...this Roman epic, directed with care and detail by Kubrick, packs a powerful emotional wallop, and will linger in your heart and mind for a long time after you enter its world. The recreation of time and place is so real you can smell it, and the performances are uniformly superb and heart-wrenching, particularly the matinee idol masculinity of Kirk Douglas. The musical score sweeps you away. I love this movie for all of its daring, its powerful message and its human spirit. This one will last forever.Movie Review: SPARTACUS
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD of SPARTACUS arrived in good order, along with several other historical DVDs from Amazon. I needed this DVD, so that I could show clips of the gladiator uprising and the big battle scene to my history class at the Community College. Besides, the VHS player chewed up several of my VHS tapes, so I needed this DVD quickly and Amazon was right there. Fantastic job in shipping and handling. Great epic from a bygone era. At least, it was from a time when they used real live extras and not something computer generated. Thanks. B.L.Movie Review: Spartacus Movie
