Appallingly bad. Deliciously bad. Bad in the sort of way that makes you really proud that you made it all the way to the end.This is sword and board 1980's at its best. Soft pron without the pron. Go Amazons!Amazing to see this kick started so many amazing careers.Not sure the squeaking leather underpants will catch on but the plastic chariots are a must have solution to global something.The delightful mishmash of international accents left us wondering if this was a play for cornering the international film festival market.Why is it always Autumn in Lithuania? Perfect Epic night, more like this please!

Just like the other Dutch guy I was mislead by a 1towatch sticker on it, and all I got was bad acting,bad script,ridiculous costumes,historical inaccuracies,insipid feminist propaganda... nothing but Xena type garbage.I was at least expecting some exciting (sword)fight scenes , but even that was missing.Actually, the only exciting scene in this movie was when Wendi Winburn got naked out of the bath (nice ass!) and I think that says enough.Oh, there's a nice plot twist in it,too !But that's about it.I will at least give it a 3-star rating for the nudity.

Cute film about amazons(???) and Gladiators in the Roman era, especially for the male audience. We also have the chance to see the legendary queen of Minor Asia, Zenobia (sic). Watch Jennifer Rubin, the ex-model of Calvin Klein Obsession, succeed nicely as actress in the role of Ione. Richard Norton (martial arts action film actor) plays Lucius. Generally, the production is well done, low budget OK, but not bad. It's worth it! Nice music (Tim Jones), plot (Zachary Weintraub), set. (Filming location: Lithuania). It's not THE GLADIATOR, or BRAVEHEART, of course but it's a good low budget film. You'll spend 2 happily hours in front of your screen.

Yes, this is a classical B-movie. The historical facts is supposedly all wrong, I am not the one to judge that, but I do not doubt it for a moment. The costumes and scenery might be all wrong for those who really knows, but frankly it was better than I expected. It contains a lot of half nude women, even the heroins wear rather little clothes, which is a little interesting because their whole cause is a cause against maltreatment of slaves (i.e women). And finally, no, this is not another Gladiator. Not even close. Those movies should not even be compared.None the less, this was a surprisingly entertaining movie, if you're able to look beyond all apparent mistakes and clichees. As I said I think the scenery and costumes is better than I expected. The acting may not be up for any awards but fit in the movie. The fight-scenes is not the best I ever seen, a little higher tempo, especially in the "training" scenes would have raised my grading a bit, however they are good enough to be entertaining. There is not much plot to comment, it might have been a lot better if it had not been so full of clichees, another (more surprising) turn of events would have made the whole movie a lot better. Still, in conclusion, if your expectations are not the highest, this movie is good entertainment, well worth seeing. And that is what its all about, isn't it?7/10
