Remember the Oscar-winning Spartacus (1960) or Gladiator (2000). Unfortuantely, this film doesn't have the deft and dexterity in writing and acting as those movies, but, after the recent remake of Clash of the Titans (2010) left a really bad taste in my mouth, I must admit that this was a quite enjoyable and entertaining if only a slight, swords-and-sandal epic.
