I loved how the that Villa was beyond the Hadrian Wall, beyond a gate that had not been opened in decenia (One wonders how comunication was held with that Villa). A Gate that opened and closed like with a remote control (last battle). I liked some of the Legionary outfits that one could see once in a while in the background.<br>

In general...a pretty stupid film.<br>

PS: Gladiator had also some pretty stupid moments where you have to hold your head. He was a Spaniard eventhough Spain did not exist as such (Wonder if a Gaul would have said he was French...oh wait...they did not screw up with that German saying he was from Germania )<br>
Then he says he is from "Trujillo"... that did not even exist at that time. In the Spanish version they had at least the consideration of dropping that town and changing it for neraby and real Emerita Augusta.<br>
And how on earth can an African Caravan pop up in the middle of Iberia, pick up some random wounded man liing in front of his Villa, cross Iberia, cross the Gibraltar Strait and up to North Africa?....Ugh! <p></p><i></i>
