Once classic which has dated pretty badly. Whilst the battle scenes and gladitorial school are stirring stuff, it somehow manages to turn a slave revolt against the mighty Rome into a pretty boring experience. Such a disappointment.
Fairly generic 'woman's film' but good fun nonetheless -- the germ of the idea must have been 'Dead Poets Society' with girls but that's not necessarily a bad thing -- helpfully demonstrates how far the feminist debate has developed over the years.
