Attila
Men Followed. Women Loved. Rome Trembled.
Two worlds collide, along with the two men who embody the values and essence of these worlds. Attila, King of the Huns (Gerard Butler), is a visionary who sees more in his people than they see in themselves. While the Huns are content to plunder and extort the surrounding nations, Attila looks beyond to the possibility of an empire and new world order. Roman General Flavius Aetius (Powers Boothe) embodies the best and worst of Rome in the final years of her existence. He is motivated by one overriding goal: Rome must continue to rule the world. Two different visions of destiny, held by the two strongest men of the century... these conflicts are at the heart of Attila the Hun.

Good TV movie - Hiku
This was a more accurate portrayal of Attila the hun compared to all the legends and other versions that have been told.
For a tv movie, it was well done with satisfactory costumes, acting, etc. Definatly an enjoyable historical movie that I recommend to anyone interested in Attila or just history of Europe.Insipid - MarieLoup
What a long and boring movie. Gerard Butler is as intense as ever and nearly saves the movie but the other actors doesn't seem to believe what is happening. The history itself was good but the direction of actors is horrible. There is a few good image and I need to mention the young actor who plays Attila as a child. He is quite something. Unfortunately, the rest of the film was really bad. Is there a book? I should have read it instead.A semi accurate portrayal - dannybou
I enjoyed the movie. It is fairly accurate, leading to Chalons in 451 AD but after that it fails. The movie shows Attila marrying a young woman and him being poisoned by said bride and dying. In fact, Attila returned to western Europe after Chalons and invaded Northern Italy. The acting is reasonable but there are no major names and the battle scenes are pretty dull. But if you are looking for a movie depicting the life of this notorious King, then it is worth renting.
