User Reviews

Attila was a barbaric brutal leader, and not a good looking gentleman

Attila was a barbaric brutal leader, and not a good looking gentleman

If the character was not historical, I would say the miniseries is ok, not good but just good entertainment. but come on, how can the director present Attila the barbaric brutal leader as a good looking gentleman? this is an insult to humanity! I am used to see Christians in the American movies as evil, but to see this and to see Attila as good looking gentleman!!!!! and what about Historic fact, Attila's death, the way he killed his brother or that Attila was finally overawed by Pope Leo. it is a typical anti Christians movie hiding behind false history!!
