The settings and costumes were exceptional. That said the movie was a far cry from the original with its somewhat mediocre story line and in many cases hollywood dialogue.Denzel Washington was also a bad choice as the Gladiator overlord with his modern contemporary acting and thick American accent ( also very Hollywood). I mean even the ending where the legions of soldiers being the enemy of Rome decide to put down their weapons rather then fight smacks of the new world of inclusiveness and is totally unbelievable if not a corny Hollywood ending. Yes certainly.wirth a look.but.compared to the likes of Richard Harris, Russell Crow and Oliver Reed there is no such stand-out performances in this movie.

Absolutely loved it - the fact they could bring the magic of Hogwarts to the stage through outstanding special affects was a credit to the production. For the un- iniated it would be wise to at least read an outline or watch a few of the movies so as to understand the story line. That said I highly recommend it without hesitation . We saw both parts at the Princess in the one day but over two consecutive weeks would also be just as good.
