Lovely costumes - horrible movie - Hules
I was so disappointed with this one! The costuming is sumptious, but the acting left so much to be desired. My review is based on fifteen minutes of watching, hoping that it would improve, but finally gave up. Wooden, stilted dialogue and no substance at all. Don't bother!Great flick for Roman History lovers - shah
I thought this movie was pretty good, especially becuase I love Roman history. If you enjoyed HBO Rome you have got to watch Augustus! I think the battle scenes could have been a lot better tough. Perhalps a but more gruel and blood. I rate this movie 4 stars.Augustus less than august - Gene_Siskel
This is a boring movie. It is uninspired as well as historically inaccurate. Peter O'Toole plays a tired Augustus. And believe me it's a tired performance. I wasn't expecting a gladiator flick but I didn't expect something so deadly slow that I lost interest less than halfway through. I could have continued with the movie but it would have only put me to sleep.
