I enjoyed the movie. I have not studied the life / history of Spartacus to know how accurate the movie was but it sought to portray how bad Rome was with her ideals and the plight of the slaves who were also Gladiators. Based on what was shown it seems that the reason Spartacus did not beat Rome was because of the divisions in his ragtag army which acted more like a mob. Acting was good, but not the greatest. A good watch.

Spartacus
What is your review for the entertainment value of the movie called, "Spartacus"?
Sentenced to spend out the rest of his adult life laboring in the harsh deserts of Egypt, the Thracian slave Spartacus gets a new lease on life when he is purchased by the obese owner of a Roman gladiator school. Moved by the defiance of an Ethiopian warrior, Draba, Spartacus leads a slave uprising which threatens Rome's status quo. As Spartacus gains sympathy within the Roman Senate, he also makes a powerful enemy in form of Marcus Lucinius Crassus, who makes it a matter of personal honor to crush the rebellion.
