Rome - The Complete First Season movie Customer Reviews
| Average Rating: |  |
| An Exceptional Journey Rome - The Complete First Season BRAY Unflinchingly gritty and violent, outrageously bawdy and unfailingly entertaining, Rome managed to completely captivate and overwhelm me. In every case the acting is superb with truly magnificent performances by Kevin McKidd, Ray Stevenson, and Polly Walker. And, thanks to the efforts of Terence Stamp and the producers, Rome sets a new standard as the most historically accurate and well-fleshed out film to ever be set in ancient times. Rome is, without a doubt, the best film (series or no) I’ve ever seen. I can’t recommend it highly enough. By Taig Stewart (Orem, UT) This review is for a different format. |
| Best TV Dramatization of Ancient Rome Since I Claudius Rome - The Complete First Season movie HBO did well to partner with the BBC. At first I thought an HBO dramatization of the rise and fall of ancient Rome could not possibly do justice to the subject matter, at least not in the same way that the BBC did back in the mid-70's with their adaptation of Robert Graves novel I Claudius. In my opinion, I Claudius is still by far the superior series, but only because it has stood the test of time. I can watch it as easily now as I did back then and marvel at the rich story and superb acting talent. None the less, Rome holds its own in both story and acting talent, and adds the gritty embelishments that only HBO can deliver. Think of Rome as an ancient version of The Sopranos with a splash of The History Channel. By Static (Seattle, WA) This review is for a different format. |
