Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Berto Axel A lame and dated costume drama that feels like it was filmed in 1952, not in 2002. None of the social, political and historical context of the events in Caesear's life is explained at all. The Roman Republic was already dying and on its last legs, and ultimately did not survive the birth of the Roman Empire. By watching this mini-series one essentially could not learn anything meaningful about Ceasar as a historical and a political figure. Everything is reduced to a personal costume melodrama, but the series is unconvincing even at that level. Anyone with any interest in Roman history should watch the HBO series 'Rome' instead. It was made just a few years later (2005- 2007), and while it at times goes overboard with sex and nudity, that series captures the historical essence of the events of Caesar's life infinitely better than the 'Julius Caesar' mini-series.

Desertman84 Caesar is a television mini-series about the life of Julius Caesar. It is a dramatization of the life of Julius Caesar through 82 BC to his death in 44 BC. The film stars Jeremy Sisto in the title role of Caesar together with Richard Harris,Christopher Walken,Valeria Golino,Chris Noth and Pamela Bowen.It is mostly historically accurate and being one of the last two films of the legendary actor,Richard Harris being released in the year of his death.It was directed by Uli Edel, and written by Peter Pruce and Craig Warner. Caesar is an ambitious, four-hour miniseries of TNT that tells the story of the Roman general-turned-emperor Julius Caesar.It traces his rise to prominence as a brilliant military tactician; his complex relationships with his mentor General Pompey and his second wife Calpurnia; his ideological battles with Senator Cato, who advocates democracy over Caesar's dictatorial ambitions; and his bloody and inevitable murder at the hands of former friends and allies. Taking some dramatic license with the facts, it is basically sympathetic to its subject, although Caesar is depicted as a flawed man, both physically and morally. Giving Caesar points for being fundamentally honorable, in full possession of his faculties, and possessing the "common touch" with the Roman citizenry, the TV movie does not shrink away from the man's violent epileptic seizures, his megalomania, his casually calculated cruelties, and his bigamous relationship with Egyptian queen Cleopatra.However, the miniseries downplays his notorious bisexuality.Caesar is a delight from beginning to end.It tells one man's story with energy and vitality.Also,it was obviously a big budget TV production that the battle scenes were shot with remarkable accuracy.Aside from the scenes mentioned,the it tries to be accurate to detail as it covers many aspects in the life of the Roman dictator.The cast was also brilliant in this TV movie as well.Overall,it was a pleasure to view Caesar as it was both entertaining and informative.

dh1897 My comments are mainly about the already existing comments which are nonsensical. Firstly, someone writes that it is a goof that Caesar claims to be a descendant of Venus, and that Venus is the Greek name, whereas the roman is Aphrodite. THAT is not the case: Venus is the roman name, and Aphrodite the Greek. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of mythology can tell you that.One should not write what one does not know about.Secondly, there is a grave error in the summary: Brutus is NOT the nephew of Caesar but of Cato. Caesar had a very famous grand nephew named Gaius Octavian, aka Emperor Augustus, who is not depicted in the film but mentioned in the end credits.I think it is OK for TV movie, but like most Roman films the "liberties" with historical facts annoys me. Still, it is far more correct than most of its ilk. A bit rushed at times, but fairly entertaining if you're into roman history.

Jay Jedi I am reading Conn Iggulden's books at the moment. and although he changed a little bit of the real story in favor of the book, the books are close to the real live of Caesar.The movie is bad cause it does not do justice to the man Caesar was...The acting was not good, only Richard Harris was really good as Sulla, he will be missed...I really hope that a man like for instance Peter Jackson is willing to pick up the story of Conn Iggulden's Caesar. It has CLASSIC written all over it...But this movie...I'm sorry..
