| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Absolutely Dreadful! |
| Okay, there's bad, and then there's utterly dreadful. This falls into the later category. The producers don't even try to conceal the fact that this is totally biased. To add insult to injury, the costumes and overall production are absolutely terrible. The Celts look like something out of the movie "Caveman" while the Romans look straight out of a low-budget movie from the 1960's.
I was able to forgive the cheesy sequences depicting magic, however the fact that every attrocity committed by Boudicca is conveniently overlooked is unforgivable. It is only mentioned in passing that they had sacked Londinium (London). No mention of the fact that every citizen unable to leave was murderously butchered. Most historians agree that approximately 80,000 were killed in Boudicca's rampage, most of them fellow Brittons. The Roman tactics were the most abominable I have ever seen. Children burrowing under a camp and hamstringing the legionaries?? Say what?? If the Romans were so easily beaten by children and teenage girls (yeah, I loved how Boudicca's daughters are able to cut down numerous Roman soldiers before falling in the final battle), then it is doubtful they would have ever conquered the known world in the first place. Their armor looked straight out of a third-grade Halloween party as well. It is painfully obvious that no effort was made whatsoever with historical integrity. What you have is a piece of poorly made Celtic propoganda that even the most die-hard "woad" could not find inspiring. If you want to learn about Boudicca's rebellion, read "Imperial Governor" by George Shipway. It is the book that the movie SHOULD have been based on. Don't waste your time watching this; I honestly felt like my IQ had dropped a few points after suffering through it! |
