1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this like the Plague!, 17 Jan 2008
Can Christopher Lambert put life into ANY character he plays? I have to ask this question because of the half dozen or so films I've seen Christopher Lambert in the only one where he seemed to have a significant interest in what was going on was in Resurrection. From reading the DVD cover I expected this to be much more exciting than it was with much more action other than the one real battle at the end.Lot's of drinking and buffooning going on, all very boring. Klaus Maria Brandauer and Max Von Sydow I thought were badly mis-cast, Ines Sastre may be better suited to pole dancing because she can't act.

Absolutely exellent. A real insight into what the romans were actually doing to gaul. Great acting and storyline. A must have for any war fanatic or lotr fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Staggeringly awful, 17 Jun 2009
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
There is a great film to be made about Vercingetorix's doomed attempt to drive the Romans out of Gaul and Gaius Julius Caesar's subsequent near-genocide of the local population. This is not that film. Unfortunately, Vercingetorix, aka Druids, doesn't even seem to even want to be that film.

You know you're in trouble when the film begins with a typical bit of Rospo Pallenberg-scripted pseudo-mythological babble about prophecies that tip you off that this is more interested in fantasy than history long before you see Max Von Sydow's druid (another of his paying the rent jobs) or Christophe Lambert's Highlanderish Vercingetorix ("You want to live forever? Then follow me!"). There is some lip-service given to the reasons the Gauls were defeated - ironically their democracy made them vulnerable to indecision when they could have reinforced Vercingetorix's troops where Caesar's ruthlessly autocratic style of leadership was at least decisive. But unfortunately it's rendered laughable by the inept direction, terrible performances and risible dialogue (even Klaus Maria Brandauer can't do anything with lines like "The light of my victory will make my invisible past failures heavier."), while the film's production design looks like the producers bought a job lot of used costumes off the Asterix films and then dreamt up a film to use them in. Even the battle scenes are completely botched - indeed, despite a good chunk of the Bulgarian armed forces being roped into the picture as extras, director Jacques Dorfman can't even get a good shot of the Roman formations marching by: it actually looks as if he forgot to say action until they'd nearly passed by.

There's some unintentional humour to be found, but mostly this is just so bad it's bad. You're better off watching the section of Uli Edel's 2002 miniseries Julius Caesar that deals with the subjugation of Gaul instead.
