Brutus vs César

I was expecting for something else. I really like Kheiron and his two first movies but this one is a deception. He try to be human and sensitive with his tipical kind of humor but the ancient rome is not a place for that kind of situations.

Très pâle copie de Mission Cléopâtre, Kheron nous avait habitué à beaucoup plus de finesse. Film du dimanche soir sans prise de tête .... on sourit malgré tout par moment ....

Watched dubbed on Amazon. I did not laugh or find it entertaining.

It had no humor, no real action, it just went from scene to scene. It felt like a bad drama? Dramadey?

It was bad, not worth the time. I thought it would be full of dirty humor, it had none!

Oh, in this bland non-comedy it has lots of ahem, migrant types in Rome, in the military and so on.

So with a comedy it can get away with it, but this was not funny. I am NOT exaggerating when I said it had nothing funny.

1 out of 10. I must have seen 100 movies this year or so, this is definitely the worst.

Aside from the fact this is unfunny there's the issue of yet more cultural misappropriation.

Apparently Vercingetorix, a Gallic tribal leader is suddenly black. That would be alright if he was a black man but he wasn't. Its absurd stuff that makes a mockery of historical fact and the cultural heritage that defines it. Back that up with a lame script that is not funny and you have this thing.

As someone with French ancestry I found this irritating , inaccurate and idiotic in equal parts.

1/10.

But what in this case? Because this is history re-written - which I reckon is necessary to keep you interested. But you have to dig the humor and the comedy in the first place. Which might be quite tough to do - especially when the mixture and the tone is all over the place. Not sure if it has anything to do with the director also being the director.

So it sort of is - You directing too, Brutus? No pun intended - just stating a fact. Sort of - well you get the point I am certain of it. Now if you are willing to suspend your disbelief and have a heart for silly movies (that may not exactly know their place and what they want to tell you or how they want to entertain you) ... well you may have quite the fun with this.
