This is a good film. It's not only a gorgeously directed film, it's extremely clever. The way Scott approaches the ten plagues is fun. The way that Scott envisions God as a child, whom Moses spends a great deal of time debating with, is extremely interesting and entertaining. The fact that Moses comes off as both unhinged, but sympathetic (because he's fighting for human rights) makes him a really complex character, more so than portrayed in prior versions of this same narrative.

The casting choice for Rameses is a little odd, but Joel Edgerton actually does a fantastic job. I do think Scott dropped the ball on the relationship between Moses and Rameses. It needed better development. And there's a really harsh heel turn for Rameses with regard to Moses that does not feel justified considering the context. It's almost like there was a major section removed from the film..

All in all though, it was a fun watch. I actually watched this right after completing The Ten Commandments. And I enjoyed it. I'd say this film is actually good and worth watching, especially if you're in the mood for something epic.

This is one of the better shows out there. It actually wraps up and has a good, fitting ending. It's certainly not for everyone. The gratuitous sex, violence and cursing is off putting to many.

A lot of people dismiss Spartacus because of its obscene and excessive nature. But the reality is, there is solid story telling here. It's not overcompensating. There are extremely clever and well-crafted plotting and character development in this show. It's actually kind of astonishing, because you don't realize its depth until certain things actually happen and you suddenly realize it's much more complex than how initially perceived, especially early on.

This is a troubled show, with several casting changes, but unfortunately some simply couldn't have been avoided RIP. And yet, it somehow managed to reach a conclusion and a satisfying one. This is a thrill ride right to the very end and everyone should honestly watch it.

And it's technically not the end of the story now. Because after 11 years of being off-air, there is a new promise of a sequel Spartacus: House of Ashur. It won't be a direct sequel, because it's purposefully retconning the main series, so it will exist as its own thing. But technically, will allow viewers to choose how they view the entire saga (go down path X or path Z). And I'm hyped that we are returning to this wonderful (deliciously terrible) universe.
