Empire

For a made-for-tv mini series, this was done expertly and on location! The scenery was fantastic and I've enjoyed watching it several times. Other than the fall of the Roman empire, the story of a young Cesar finding a father role model was touching. Since it was made for tv, I was pleased with the absence of foul-language...although there was violence and some scenes not family friendly. Overall, I was pleased to have it in my Personal Collection.

I bought this because I enjoy watching Santiago Cabrera in The Three Musketeers. A much younger Santi in this, and the story was good, but I wish it had followed with more about Octavian as Emperor.

I'm not sure I could have stuck it out if it weren't for Emily Blunt's presence. The movie itself reminded me of the Saturday matinee thriller movies we used to go to see when I was a kid. Melodramatic acting but kind of fun anyway. The main thing here was Emily Blunt. Wow!

Sometimes I like a movie or a book or a TV series that will absorb my attention on recurring viewings. The Lord Of The Rings is one of these books. Gladiator is one of these movies. And Empire is one of these TV series. It is absorbing, well acted and the sets are exactly as desired. It has a great story. Forget the exact historical facts, that is irrelevant to the enjoyment of this film. Simply sit back and sink into this other reality - it's a great trip.Ben

Obviously in quality this is light years away from the caliber of HBO's ROME but was much of that any more historically accurate? EMPIRE at least deserves an A for effort and, if you can forget about the historicalinaccuracies, it is involving and has some good performances. It also plays much better than it did on TV.There are some bits that weren't shown on network and minus the commercials the pace is greatly accelerated. Ignore the nay-sayers and give it a chance. Particularly if you enjoy Epic movies.

No complaints, kinda odd ending but pretty good movie.

Taking into account that this was made for T.V. , both the production and story were very good. If I wanted an account on historic facts,I would go to the History Channel but for pure entertanment, this was very good.

If you're not particularly concerned about historical accuracy, but don't want to stray to far off the mark, and want to avoid the flamboyant over design of Hollywood sets and costumes, this is a good choice for the Ancient Roman Empire enthusiast.

First of all this 2 disc set runs just over 4 hours and is hard to put the entire story of the early empire in a short time span. However, having said that the story is WRONG. You won't like the ending even though up until then it's been entertaining. It shows Marcus Anthony in pitched battle against Octavian of which none of that happened until Anthony met Cleopatra (whom is not in or even mentioned in this film). I think based on this purchase, I am going to be more shrewed with genre/type of films i like since i was disappointed.

Bonne fantaisie au sujet du début de l'Empire romain qui donne une autre interprétation de ce qui a suivi l'assassinat de Jules César. Il faut cependant garder l'esprit ouvert puisqu'il s'agit, comme nous l'avons mentionné, d'une interprétation et non de ce que les livres d'histoire nous rapportent. Ce n'est définitivement pas un documentaire!

Santana, nuf said? Well actually, I recently bought this album and like other reviewers the guitar rifts are the best I've heard and love to listen to this album just for the that reason. My favourite track is Smooth with Rob Thomas (from Matchbox Twenty). This album is well worth investing in as it great to listen to and enjoy. As a future project, I would like to see Christina Aguilera to work with Santana as I think the combination would be brilliant.

I loved this movie. In my eyes it was an excellent rendering of that time in history. The movie arrived on time and perfect condition. Even the slip case was undamaged in any way. I have already watched it twice and will probably watch it many more times.
