If you love history then this is not the film for you. It's obvious the filmmakers have never so much as opened a pop up children's book on the Romans. They would have done better just by watching the movie Gladiator. Instead the Romans fight differently than real Romans did, they have names like "black eagle corps" that is not Roman, even their costumes are wrong. Conversely this film is obviously a Chinese film because they come out smelling like roses. This feels like a puff piece. Don't get me wrong, the Romans weren't saints and there are a slew of American films that are guilty of this same treatment. This could have been better, alot better, if the filmmakers would have put forth any sort of effort at casting, historical research, storyline, anything. This is a joke.
