Premieres tomorrow night on starz movie channel..
some cast
MildPossession
Yes yes yes yes, whenever it's released here in Britain, moi shall be watching it!! looks fabulous.
S_D_J
saw the first 2 episodes already...
like 300, though much crappier fx's...
too much sex though...
It's not like I'm puritan or anything, but I think they use it mostly for shock factor than anything else... too much that is actually distracting
It's hard to take talks of politics, war and machinations for betrayal seriously when the characters are getting their genitals rubbed...
I'm going to keep watching... It's not great but the battles are entertaining enough.... if anything there's plenty of naked chicks every 3 minutes... seriously... they try mix it up a bit in the second episode (dongs everywhere) but the nudity every 3 minutes still applies
Neo_Version 7
I agree. I've seen commercials with better effects but you can never have too much sex. I mean, the naked women are at least attractive. [:
S_D_J
yes they are...
Xena naked= hot (even though she's a bit older now)
but there's just too much of it, it does more harm than good... It's distracting... at times it feels like a soft porn movie than an action set piece.
not that I'm saying I'll stop watching...
The Butcher
I wanted to watch this,but I don't have Starz.
BruceSkywalker
liked the first ep...
had no problem withe nudity...
can't wait until the next ep
Mindset
I watched about 10min then turned it off.
xJLxKing
I watched this yesterday night. One of the biggest problem is that this movies is nearly impossible to watch will chicks mainly because of all the nudity. I was like....okay and all the girls in the room were red and didn't talk for the duration of the movie.
The action is okay, but it looks really fake. By this I mean the blood, the gore, the cuts, the heading chopped off...everything. They slow-motion this was over used. Like 10 times in a 1 minute fight scene.
The equipment looks fake
Despite all these setbacks, it's still pretty good. Just remember, no watching with other ladies it becomes rather weird.
Overall, it's a 7/10. I am playing on watching the next one
angelsoutfield
I actually laughed when Spartacus stabs a guy with a spear and 7 gallons of blood comes rushing out in a blossom of gore LOL. Overdone, cheesy but I will keep watching in hopes that it gets good.
I was really hoping on something along the lines of HBO's Rome.
S_D_J
instead you got 300... go figure
xJLxKing
Was Rome a good show?
S_D_J
Never watched more than an episode... it had good production values
Allankles
Rome was a damn good show. Can't say episode 1 of Spartacus impressed me.
This 300 style slow motion spoils what would otherwise be half decent action scenes.

Rome was very good.. It was canceled due to the show costing a lot of money, but the ratings were always good

Don't know why you were expecting something like Rome... when I first saw the trailer I instantly thought 300, same sort of style too.

i like this show
xJLxKing
Well, I watched the second one. It seems they are going for the sex, and violence for all their shows. I don't mind, but it gets retarded when you want to watch with girls your age. It seems it's only made to attract guys.
Any ways, I give it a 7/10 so far
jinXed by JaNx
I was very disappointed with the first two episodes. So much so, i doubt i'll continue watching the series. I was expecting some depth and engaging dialogue with brutal violence and depravity. Unfortunately, the only things the show has delivered so far is depravity, childish dialogue and laughable blue screens effects along with shoddy set pieces. I was expecting something on par with, Rome not Xena.
BruceSkywalker
i love the blood ad guts this show offers.. tonight's show was no exception
xJLxKing
I just watched the last one while I was working and I must say, the show has improved. It really is good. They are starting to focus on other characters, and the fight scenes are pretty good. Especially, the last fight in episode3. It has me on my feet hoping he wins.

The vast quantity of ripped men in loincloths is just to attract guys?

If you don't have Starz, Netflix is the way to go, you can watch the newest episode the day after in their 'instant watch' option, under the TV shows menu.
Show's alright, not nearly as good as Rome was and the overabundance of CGI blood is highly annoying.

For the fist episode, we had a 4 guys(i think) and 7-8 girls.
The second episode 2 girls lol. I wonder why they didn't come? They will easily come for a Sunday night movie. Not for Spartacus of course.

There are many possible reasons*, unless they specifically told you "we don't like seeing nude women", which would be a lie if they did, as women love seeing other women nude. This is a fact, son.
*Possible reasons:
-They didn't like the show
-They didn't like your company
-Your house smelled of fart
-You're cheap and didn't provide decent refreshments
-All of the above

Indeed it was. I was glad it ended, as it would have likely turned to shit had it continued and I'd rather have a good show end while it's still good, than continue pasted it's shelf-life.
forumcrew
This show is pretty much shit, but it is some what entertaining. It is like a couple of 15 year olds watched thing like Rome/Gladiator/300 and any movie on Cinemax late at night and thought, what if we make a hybrid rip off of these with lots of slow motion, blood, over the top everything and tons of sex and ****!

I stopped watching after the second episode... but not because I didn't like it, I just haven't got the time to do so... the second episode was an improvement over the first, I hear the following episodes have gotten better.... I got some catching up to do

Yeah, episode 3 was the best if you carry about story and then fighting.

Watch porn if that is all you are interested in. Although the last episode had full male frontal and several topless women as well so not even sure where you find it is waning.

WTF are you talking about, we got plenty of cock-n-balls this last ep.
Neo_Version 7
I mean compared to the first two episodes. Consider that back then, we had:
- Batiatus and Xena fcuking like rabbits (I.E. Xena now uses pasties)
- Elf from LOTR and Ilythia (I.E. Now all she does is complain)
- Spartacus and his wife (IE. Yes, she is gone but you get the idea)
Robtard
I know, was just having a laugh. This last ep was overly gay-erotic. French guy's junk right in our faces, then French guy's Spartacus' ass thrown our way while they wrestle naked with snippets of cock-n-balls thrown in.
Not to mention, the full on butt-****ing scene between the brown guy and the slave-boy in the previous ep.
Neo_Version 7
The male-on-male eroticism has definitely increased. I don't really have a problem with it. It would be cool if they balanced it out with Ilythia, etc. though.
Do you guys think Spartacus' wife is alright or do you think she has been subject to "100 Roman ****s" by now as Crixus put it?

That's because you're gay
Not sure, I'm also on the fence whether Batiatus is really looking for her or not.
Neo_Version 7
Uhm..it takes one to know one?
I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't looking for her either. He has enough on his plate without having to devote resources on some dude's wife.

I feel like HBO's Rome was Watchmen and Spartacus is some Dark Age imitator that focuses too much on sex and violence and not enough on the in-depth themes solid mature shows are known for.

Rome was/is superior; too give them credit here though, the opening disclosure says something like 'this show tries to portray the very sexual and violent society ancient Rome was', ie that's specifically their angle here.
If you read up/look into ancient Rome, it was a very, very sexual society. I think Pompeii had over 20 brothels (so far unearthed) and sexual cravings were littered throughout the city, as posters, art and murals are found in cities of today.

Really?. The one thing I found bothersome was the over-excessive use of sex scenes. Good to hear they're toning it down a bit.
Nudity =/= Sex

I'm aware of Rome's cosmopolitan attitude and it doesn't bother me that there is lots of sex and violence. It just seems to me like they use it as filler or a way to keep the interest going because they can't garner enough interest in the primary storyline.

That's what I am trying to relay, the sex and violence is the main story-line; that's what this show is specifically going for. It's mostly eye-candy, substance coming in second.

Ah, ok.
Hmm well I suppose I can't fault the show for being what it is. If I modify my mindset and look at it as action packed guilty pleasureentertainment with lots of hot chics, I think I can make it work.
Robtard
IMO, when the director, producers and writers got together, I think they started out with the aspect of 'sex and violence in ancient Rome'; then built a story around that. Silly, but it is what it is.
While the show Rome was built around the lives of two commoners and how their lives were affected by historical events; some sex and violence was thrown in for entertainment.
BruceSkywalker
decent, but sad ep tonight
S_D_J
I hear there was an orgy going on....
Neo_Version 7
I called the messenger from "300" waking up from the drugged wine. However, I was not expecting the final reveal. Seriously. What the hell?
forumcrew
Yea not real thrilled with the episode and the 2 major deaths You knew he was not going to escape but did not quite expect that. I really fail to see how they would be able to convince him to continue his run as the best gladiator ever after this.
xJLxKing
Yeah, I didn't see that coming
Neo_Version 7
^ It's possible that Batiatus will claim that someone like Solonius did it.
On a lighter note, I take back my less-female-nudity outlook. Thankfully, Xena let those puppies breathe. Did any of you catch that female slave Bats was banging?
forumcrew
Well after the last ep had male full frontal guess they decided to put it back in balance with more boobs than skinemax would even show.
Even blaming it on someone else I dont think would work. just dont see how i am going to buy their explination for him desiring to continue fighting.
xJLxKing
He could say that he needs money to locate the murderer
Neo_Version 7
^ Perhaps. I'm sure that limp slave could round up a few investigators though. He pretty much ran sh*t last episode.
forumcrew
So the little blurb about the next episode says this:
"Overcome by the pressure of Batiatus' control, Spartacus must make a choice: leave his past behind and assume the mantle of a champion gladiator, or die."
Obviously he does not choose to die, and I just don't see how they character they have been showing us would choose anything other than death at this point.

She was smoking hot, REALLY smoking hot, hope they show more of her. Poor girl took it up the ass though, without lube, such is the life of a slave, I guess.
I liked this last episode, I was great-full for the easing up of CIG blood, they kept it realistic this time when Barka was killed.
Neo_Version 7
^ Wait, huh? She took it up the butt? Regardless, you can tell she was in pain.
Robtard
Originally posted by Neo_Version 7

Yup, Lucy Lawless tells her husband something like "ass spit this one, I'll watch and be pleased."
Biatus then bends her over, spits in his hand, rubs it on her ass and then she starts making the 'I'm taking it up the butt without lube' face, while Lawless laughs.
Neo_Version 7
^ Okay, cool. Everything about that scene was just..awesome. But like I said, poor slave girl.
BruceSkywalker
decent ep earlier tonight
xJLxKing
Yeah, it was alright. I didn't like how fake the fight scene was. It was way too obvious
Neo_Version 7
^ I agree. The CGI was worse than usual. The episode itself was decent. Still a little pissed with what they did with Cura.
That being said, I am continually surprised by the story-telling. Not to say it's the most smartly written show ever but it is pretty engaging for what it is.
forumcrew
Yea I have to say they accomplished what I did not believe they could. They made his desire to fight and transformation into "Spartacus" actually seem believable. Good job writers, I thought you were gonna fail hard on this one, I was pleasantly surprised.
Robtard
The gimp is starting to become my favorite character, like how he's devious and plays people against each other.
Anyone take a guess in how many more eps before Lawless finds out her slave-girl is fooling around with her slave-lover?

I'm guessing it will be how Crixis (sp?) is killed off.
Lawless sees them, in a fit of anger, she has her husband force herself onto the sexy-cute slave-girl, making sure Crxis sees or hears about it. Crixis then goes berserk and Biatus is forced to have him killed.
Also see the trainer losing it, if he learns that Barka was assassinated.

i won't be at all surprised if it happens like this
Neo_Version 7
Historically speaking, Crixus becomes one of Spartacus' primary generals in the slave rebellion. However, I'm not sure how closely the show will follow in history's footsteps so we'll just have to see how it pans out.
By the way, Crixus uttered perhaps the best line thus far:
"He'd sooner part with his own cock."
Robtard
Alright then, he's not dying that way. But he'll likely abandon the 'honor or the school', because of the slave-girl and Lawless catching them together.

I'm sure it was anal, can't imagine Lawless saying the words "spit" and "ass" and then laughing when the slave-girl shows signs of discomfort, as not being anything but(t).

Man this is turning into 24 where only Jack Bauer is safe and everyone else is likely to get killed off at any moment. I admit I did not see the switcharoo with the sex coming last ep, but they got lazy this episode making it obvious what Ilithyia was going to try to do from that first arena scene on.
Part of me was waiting for Spartacus to get out of it similar to how Maximum did in Gladiator when they then cheered "Maximums, Maximus The Merciful!"

Agree on all points. Such a haunting episode. Showing Varro finally coming to terms with his wife and Ilythia watching them train did make it obvious but his death was effective nonetheless. On a lighter note, I would smash Ilythia regardless. Her body is..perfect.
He probably would have if Varro didn't force the sword.

Not nearly as luscious as the big-boobed and hot one that took it up the butt, though. I look for her in every episode.

Does he know that Crixus is also banging the wife of Biatus? If so, he'll probably sell it to Biatus' nemesis.

I really liked episode 11. The episode moved the plot forward by a large margin and Batiatus is again the real enemy of Spartacus. Except this time, Spartacus knows what Batiatus did.

I wasn't really feeling the episode that much but I appreciate the way the plot has moved. We only have two episodes left anyway. Plus, I was a little upset that there wasn't much nudity.
That being said, sh*t is about go down.

Think they'll wait until Season 3 to have Spartacus escape the ludus and begin his campaign against Rome, or do next in 2?
I'm guessing 3, but don't see how they'll make an entire Season with Spartacus knowing the truth and still playing along.

That is assuming there is anything past Season 1 seeing as Andy Whitfield has cancer. They said it was caught so early that it is "very treatable" but I would never assume anything when dealing with a disease like this.
Robtard
Obviously, if he's dead, then there's no show, unless they replace him in lieu of canceling. I'm assuming he'll recover as expected.
Neo_Version 7
I don't know. Spartacus waiting an entire season without doing anything with the information (I.E. breaking out) doesn't really seem to suit the show since pacing thus far has been surprisingly rapid. And keep in mind that more than a year has passed since episode 1. Though regardless of how they approach it, I'm sure it'll be entertaining.
xJLxKing
When was Season 2 suppose to be aired before they caught the disease? Usually, it's a one year wait, right. I am sure that he will have time for treatment

Most likely season two would have started filming around july/august or perhaps november to be broadcast during the same time frame as season was

liked when lucretia beat up crixus's woman
It was a good episode and it would seem Spartacus will now have Crixus and Doctore to his cause.

yep, the season finale should be really good

I liked how they finally brought back some early plotlines (I.E. Legitus, Barka's death). My only gripe is that they should have shown some more Nivea nudity. Should make for an awesome finale.
By the way, I also like the call-back to the first episode with the finale being entitled Kill Them All.

Also the German brothers and essentially at that point all the other gladiators would follow.

Varo seemed to be the only non-slave gladiator, so I would imagine they'd all follow for a chance at freedom, if the champion, ex-champion and their trainer went for it.
I'm guessing Doctore will die, to bad, as I kinda liked the character and wouldn't mind him being developed a bit further.

this was one helluva season finale..
i truly hope that and whitfield conquers cancer as i know all too well damn well about cancer...
i have also read that starz might make a 6 hour prequel miniseries
Robtard
Indeed it was, loved it.
BackFire
Yep, was awesome.

Holy shit what a great finale. Could have used Spartacus railing the shit out of his new chick while the credits roll just for good measure but still pretty epic.

Very nice episode, especially for a finale, but is there going to be a second season? I mean they destroyed nearly every cast member. Only ones I can think of that will pose a threat is Ashur, Ilithyia, and her husband.

Miniseries? What do you mean?
It's too bad that the next episode will be more then 8 months from now. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
jalek moye
only like 6 episodes.
Since it's half the legnth of the show I thinks thats what he means
xJLxKing
Obviously, but I mean what will it be about. Prequel to Spartacus' life before being a slave? Like we need that.
jalek moye
More then likely about the other gladiators

Not about what you need, it is about what is possible at the moment.

If it follows history, it will be Spartacus and crew raising a large army and pillaging Roman territory, while the Romans attempt to crush them.
I'd guess Glaber will be leading the army after him. Crixus will be looking for Naevia (who is hot), Ashur will be trying to angle some plot.
Anyone know what happened to that large Legionaire that crushed a gladiator's head against the door; then killed 2-3 more? Think he was the first guy to fight Spartacus for Glaber's sport a few episodes back. Don't remember him dying during the massacre/escape.

If he wasn't butchered, I'm sure he managed to sneak away ala Ashur.
I'm glad Ilythia survived. She is my favorite person to get naked on that show.
PS - Do you think the anal-redhead lived through the massacre, Rob?

I do hope so, I really do hope so. Each show should have at least 5 minutes of her naked or partially-naked in it.
I think they showed her for a second, Ashur was checking out one of the slaves; I think it was her. Was all very fast, can't be certain, but face looked pretty enough and the the micro-glimpse of the boobs seems to be about the right size.

I believe it will be about Crixus and the others before Spoartacus was even captured.. I think they would be doing the 6 hour miniseries while andy whitfield conquers cancer

The history of it has Glaber dying pretty quick being way over confident in his ability to crush the rebellion as Rome did not take it serious at first. This show is not following a factual/historical approach though, they are basing it on the characters and changing it as they wish so I imagine the hunt for Glaber will last a while as that is all Spartacus really wants.

Andy Whitfield is cancer free..

I tried to get into this show; I watched the first 6 episodes or so and wow, all I can say is that this show is terrible. A very poor and blatant attempt to rip off popular films like Gladiator and 300, terrible special effects, laughable acting, two-dimensional characters, and just gratutitous sex/violence - none of it well-done.
One of the worse shows out there.
Dr Mystery
Good to hear that Andy is is now a slayer of cancer too, congratulations to him. Love this show, Ilythia is silly hot, I might watch the series again today just for her. Spartacus' wife was hot too, what a waste of talent.
Kazenji
