Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

adonis98-743-186503 A romanced story of Attila the Hun, from when he lost his parents in childhood until his death. Attila is disclosed as a great leader, strategist and lover and the movie shows his respect to the great Roman strategist Flavius Aetius, his loves and passions, the gossips, intrigues and betrayals in Rome, all of these feelings evolved by magic and mysticism. Attila benefits from terrific perfomances by both Gerard Butler as Attila and Powers Booth as Aetius but also a nice set of storytelling, love, war and betrayal that definitely overcomes some flaws. (8/10)

si4abetterworld The mighty Roman Empire was the largest and most technologically advanced empire ever known, an empire which had existed for hundreds of years, and for much of that time had dominated the Mediterranean Sea, and the 3 continents of Europe, Africa and the Middle East which surrounded that sea. The Roman Empire had grown and grown, and seemed unstoppable.The Huns were a nomadic "barbarian" people, seemingly no great threat to the Roman Empire. And yet a Hun named "Attila" rose to lead his people to successfully invade the Roman Empire - a major factor in the downfall of that empire. This is the story of that man, and is based on real historical events.

teelmdb Wow! This is the kind of epic tale that I love to see. The film was brilliantly cast with some of the best actors I've ever seen, including Gerard Butler, Powers Boothe, Simmone McKinnon, Steven Berkoff, Tim Curry, and Tommy Flanagan. All were sensational. In all honesty, I thought I might have to fast forward through some boring Roman scenes, but I was on the edge of my seat throughout. Even the battle scenes were excellent, and I'm not a huge fan of battle scenes. This film combined all the best elements of story-telling: romance, intrigue, betrayal, etc. The behind-the-scenes featurettes were also very interesting, particularly the director and cast interviews and the making-of interviews. Have to agree with the director: "If there was ever a star-making role and a guy with the potential to become a star, Gerry Butler and Attila are it."

dmcmillan01 Who cares if Attila isn't accurate historically? Who cares if Powers Boothe's acting is stilted. Who cares if the costumes are "out of period?" The fabulous scenery is worth the watch. And so is watching that fantastic Scottish rogue, Gerard Butler, playing a powerful Attila. Wish that the real Attila was as sexy, fair, and fabulous as Gerard. The ladies are also good to look at, and do a credible job of acting. The young lady who plays the "witch" is unusual and quite interesting in her part. The difference between life in Rome and life where Attila lives is striking. From cool marble hallways and communal baths to ragged huts and river baths, it makes you realize just how advanced Rome was in those days. Gerard Butler, however, was the strength of the series. He has that rare quality that makes it difficult for most people to take their eyes off him. His eyes are chameleon's, changing from penetrating, to loving, to laughing, and back again. Sometimes brown, sometimes hazel, sometimes a stunning green, they appear to change with his moods. This is an actor to watch. His star is definitely rising.Dotty McMillan
