Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
arthur_tafero This Attila version is about in the same league as the Anthony Quinn and Jack Palance efforts, but with better production values. Butler, who plays Attila is not quite up to Quinn's acting ability or Palance's screen presence, but he does benefit from having a much better supporting cast; especially Powers Booth, who does some of his best work. The battle scenes are well done, and reminiscent of Spartacus (especially the rolling fire bit). There is some question about some of the siege battles of the Huns, who were primarily a calvary unit; not big on big machinery, like catapults and middle-ages machines. But the film's the thing. And it is watchable and well-paced, so it is entertaining. Enjoy the carnage.
si4abetterworld The mighty Roman Empire was the largest and most technologically advanced empire ever known, an empire which had existed for hundreds of years, and for much of that time had dominated the Mediterranean Sea, and the 3 continents of Europe, Africa and the Middle East which surrounded that sea. The Roman Empire had grown and grown, and seemed unstoppable.The Huns were a nomadic "barbarian" people, seemingly no great threat to the Roman Empire. And yet a Hun named "Attila" rose to lead his people to successfully invade the Roman Empire - a major factor in the downfall of that empire. This is the story of that man, and is based on real historical events.
LookNorth01 The writer of this movie obviously was unfamiliar with the true history of The Huns. Possibly he wrote it giving Attila the Hun's life a similarity to the King Arthur story. Maybe even with a twist of Harry Potter. It is terrible, and the writer should be ashamed. The dialogue stinks. In my opinion, this movie is awful. It is a "B" movie, which is mostly historically inaccurate. I do not recommended it as an informative movie, or teaching aid. Anyone not knowing Attila or The Huns will have the wrong idea about him/them after watching this movie. This movie is also a great discredit to the legacy of The Huns as well as any descendants of The Huns. I should hope someday, someone comes out with an modern epic movie of Attila the Hun, and that it is accurate and far better than this lame movie.
paristeri Admittedly, this movie may not be accurate, however it did encourage me to look up the actual history..Meanwhile, it was my first introduction to the actor Gerry Butler, for which I am very thankful..I look forward to watching other movies he makes..This movie as well as the subsequent ones, ie Phantom of the Opera, Timeline, Dear Frankie, even Dracula 2000, I think show how much this guy puts into his roles.. I feel he shows real depth to whatever character he portrays- heh- he made me sympathetic to Attila the Hun! Actually I read somewhere that they still celebrate Attila's Birthday in Hungary.. If one puts the story in a historical perspective I believe one could make an argument that our History might have been different if he had prevailed.. The Roman Catholic influence was not all roses..
