User Reviews

nice

to criticize it is the first temptation. and to criticize hard. but, in essence, it is only a nice animation. not convincing, not seductive, far to be great. but a sort of innocent joke with a generous theme, using old ingredients - love, competition,the error and the work to become the best from Karate Kid model, Ancient Rome as theoretical frame and few crazy characters. and the work is done. pure entertainment, amusing and far by great expectations, it is a sort of animation who could be a fresh air after the serious, high budget and large team of Pixar or Disney. in same measure, Galdiators of Rome preserves the flavor of old fashion animations.and the message. nothing new about gladiators or Rome. but a good dose of smiles. that is all.
