Amazons and Gladiators (2001)

Yes, this is a classical B-movie. The historical facts are supposedly all wrong, I am not the one to judge that, but I do not doubt it for a moment. The costumes and scenery might be all wrong for those who really knows, but frankly it was better than I expected. It contains a lot of half nude women, even the heroins wear rather little clothes, which is a little interesting because their whole cause is a cause against maltreatment of slaves (i.e women). And finally, no, this is not another Gladiator. Not even close. Those movies should not even be compared.

None the less, this was a surprisingly entertaining movie, if you’re able to look beyond all apparent mistakes and clichees. As I said I think the scenery and costumes is better than I expected. The acting may not be up for any awards but fit in the movie. The fight-scenes is not the best I ever seen, a little higher tempo, especially in the “training” scenes would have raised my grading a bit, however they are good enough to be entertaining. There is not much plot to comment, it might have been a lot better if it had not been so full of clichees, another (more surprising) turn of events would have made the whole movie a lot better.
