Perhaps they could have made it with more tension and more excitement, it's generally a pretty calm telling of the Caesar story. And maybe as true to the real story as we can get?

Sisto [Caesar] is a fucken hottie. Go see this movie just cause of him and his absolute sexiness. In addition to that, the quality was pretty good for a TV movie. Chris Noth was also really good.

Its also good to watch before reading The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. It helps with understanding.

Far better casting and settings in the HBO series Rome. Offered a different perspective on a few things though.

Uncertain of the historical accuracy but there is some nice historical staging, and perspective, especially on the length of time wars took back then.

Great, although brief, performance by Richard Harris. Christpher Walken almost looks like he was sleep walking through his role, but that might hav been script issues, and there are a few. Chris Noth (of Law & Order fame) as a Roman? Well, chalk it up to an attempt at stretching his abilities. The lead actor as Caesar is a big weak link to me. In the end, there are some nice moments and elements in this film, but they don't quite seem to ever come together properly.

Good movie of my favourite historical person. First time I saw a drama made on his life, rather than the Shakespear play.

I think this film makes the history and politics of Caesar's time really come alive. I use it with my tenth grade students as a background to Shakespeare's play!

Really, really enjoyed it. The ending was a bit hard to watch though, very brutal and heartbreaking.

It was easier to understand than reading the actual play, but it is different. I obviously liked it better than the original movie.
