GLADIATORS OF ROME (Theatrical Release Italy 2012)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì

Gladiators of Rome—average animated film—has some perks in the training scenes and coliseum fights. But, the movie’s animation seems dark and the characters are not relatable or very likable…the main female character almost seems alien rather than human. There is no deeply established character development…the characters seem cold and different to the way humans operate. This movie performs almost like a cookie cutter movie or a quilt pieced together with scenes torn from other films.
