Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Anyone watch this original series on Starz?? Its nothing to go crazy over but its pretty much Gladiator and 300 merged ... lots of slow motion and blood splatter



anyway long story short .. a fight scene happened where the main character and his opponent both lose their weapons and you see an armbar attempt and a RNC (except he snapped his neck from it) .. thought it was interesting/funny ..


oh.. Jiu Jitsu in 100 BC is epic.

Saw part of an episode Mantis, looked kind of weak, I'll give it another look though.

well I just wanted to mention that one armbar part, cuz I got a kick out of it .. its just an alright show.. its on "on demand" so if nothing is on I have been keeping up with it.

If Dexter and Its Always Sunny in Philly is an "A" .. than I would give this show a B- ..

Jersey Shore cant be rated because there isnt enough letters in the alphabet.

The blood spatter kills it for me, it just takes away from the scene the way they do it in my opinion.

The show sucks, but there are tons of naked chicks. It is a poor mans 300 mixed with Rome.

It would be rated X back in the day. It's a mockery of the original.

While I love the movie genre it aspires to be, I never had any hope for this show at all.

+1 and the slow motion is super cheesy. I watched 5 minutes of it and put in the wire

I watched the first episode but haven't seen any since. The fighting gimmick grew old after awhile
