• I very much enjoyed it

  • Not having seen the original film, it was more gory than I was expecting

  • I thought it might have worked better as an 8 hour mini-series or something - there was a lot of plot

  • Well worth seeing in a cinema as it was all very spectacular

  • I enjoyed the slight nods to Spartacus, and I, Claudius

  • the two Emporers idea was very good

  • I would pay good money to hear a live commentary by Mary Beard
