It is just unfair to be too severe about this film. It reflects the spirit and the taste of a public, a form of easy heroic passion, a genre so explored than it gives nothing new, very easy entertainment. To expect more is just bizarre. Sand and sandals, historical episodes as pretextes and good memories for today about actors. So, this story about brothers, revenge and justice, friendship and identical gladiators, with the spice of the love story is just decent. Not high expectations, not great revelations only a nice time front to romantic to naive film.
