Tom F @RT55173143 May 8 The least Kubricky of Kubrick’s films, mostly a straight ahead Roman Empire epic. See more Rex K. @RT61793587 Apr 28 I mean, for being filmed in the 60s, this movie is pretty fire. It has some cool action scenes and goes through spartacus' life really well. See more Tim M @tgmacman Apr 27 A sword-and-sandals epic to stand with the best of them, Spartacus finds Stanley Kubrick working at the height of his powers to ensure that the legend of freedom still resonates today. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Apr 7 Epic and superlative. It’s rare to see so many first-rate actors sharing the screen, and they all deliver. The sets and costumes are rich and convincing, giving the film real scale. It’s very long, yet it held our attention throughout. Seeing it in 4K on our big screen made a real difference, this is a film that needs space to breathe and would lose impact on a smaller screen. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Feb 22 Epic classic that remains as important for what happened behind the scenes than on film. The cast is superb across the board, with Peter Ustinov stealing the show as the wiley slave handler. Behind the camera, Stanley Kubrick crafts an epic film that is perhaps his most straightforward, even when it takes some tragic twists. It is helped by some fantastic writing, notably from Donald Trumbo, whose name appearing broke the Hollywood Black List. While not perfect, its strengths easily outnumber its weaknesses, making for a classic epic like no other. See more Romas M @Romas Dec 17 Greetings from Lithuania. From all of the movie that Stanley Kubrick has ever made, "Spartacus" (1960) for me was always his least favorite. Simply because it was studio film, and Stanley Kubrick was a director for hire. And it clearly shows because it lacks any imagination in comparison to any other film this legendary director has ever made. It is a straightforward Hollywood's historical epic, with huge sets, great costumes, terrific set design, actors doing their best with material given. This is one of those Hollywood historical epics with its values and flaws. There are flows with this film and for me it always was pacing. Like the there are sequences in a second half of the film with a lot of dialogs and they just draggs the movie heavily. They add to the overall history of Rome, but does not work in terms of movie entertainment. It is just simply boring. See more Read all reviews
