Okay, the other night I was bored, sitting home and saw that Starz Channel has a new original series called Spartacus. Now, while I normally don't get to interested in these types of shows but there really wasn't anything else on of interest to me so I decided to check it out.
It is done in a gritty, grunge type style for the final editing and as the show progressed I started to wonder just how low a budget they had for the show. The graphics and CGI was so poorly done, it looked like something I would do on my computer. The slow motion that kept going on and on and on every time there were any graphic blood or sex scenes was so poorly done it just made me cringe.
And the swearing, I never realized the Romans swore so much. My Grandma Taylor had a bit of a mouth on her, dating sailors and all and I think even these guys would have made her blush. It was really not necessary to have them dropping the F Bomb and calling each other names that most women reserve for their worst enemy.
There were many soft porn scenes in the show as well, very graphic and again, not very well done. I don't know who did the directing or even who the actors are, nor did I care to find out, I didn't bother sticking around for credits because I just really didn't care.
And in the final fight scene in the arena the cutting off of legs and arms was again, so poorly done and then when the hero drove home the final stab to the last gladiator, the literal tidal wave of blood that spewed out behind him just literally made me laugh out loud, it was so bad. And then when they cut back to the full shot of the arena, there was NO BLOOD in the sand, NONE! It was really bad. Really, really bad. On a scale of one to ten, I would give this original series a -4, if I had to rate with stars, up to 5 for excellent, again, -3 stars, it was just really really bad.
Really bad, did I mention it was really bad? Seriously, unless you are a total geek who likes watching soft porn and really bad graphics, this is not a decent show in any manner.
