cowboyerik Not all history is entertainment. Yes liberties are often taken, especially with the mundane parts of history like the slow, dreadful, pathetic fall of the Roman empire. Not all characters are thrilling, famous and riveting, some are vanilla, because that is the mold from which they were cast, so no matter who plays their roll, they should not excite if they want to be accurate, that said, we all know the liberties Hollywood, writers, directors, producers love to take to sell tickets, I think because they didn't stick to true history, and maybe tapped other movies fortes, they might have dragged themselves down with the ship. Still I think Katherine's resonating message is well worth portraying and listening to. You won't know until you watch it, unless you want to read some boring, dry Roman historian's account of the period!

J C The Producers, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, should have backed this movie because it is awful!!! Its a waste of some great actors, some good costuming and scenery.The story line is confusing. I didn't know who was who, who to follow, or who to root for. I jumps around like a bad dream. I was surprised read here that its supposed to be about Catherine of Alexandria. Her story is lost with all the other story lines they try to tell.It seemed like the editor tried to save the story line by using long shots with post production voice overs. Many movies use this trick but this movie needed a lot more. It was also hard watch when in one moment you have on the screen A-list actors in Rome then you jump to chunky warrior women plodding though a Scottish forest killing Romans in B/C-movie fashion. I'm glad I got this at the library for free.

Suze Smithman As a huge fan of historical dramas, both book and movie, I was so looking forward to this movie. I've never written a review on here before but my disappointment with this movie was so intense that I felt it needed airing. This was perhaps the worst acting I have ever seen in my life (55 yrs). The drugged stares into space, the stilted line delivery, the over dramatic acting by lesser actors in bit parts, the choppy scene transitions. The whole thing was tragically sad and I finally, after multiple attempts, shelved it, never to be finished.It's a great story I would love to see it done properly and given it's due diligence. This just wasn't it.

Shaun Darcy I am a fan of historical fact based drama films. Coming across Katherine of Alexandria and discovering Edward Fox and Peter O'Toole were amongst it's the cast, I was very eager to watch it.I wasted 108 minutes of my life! Poor (at best) acting and directing, "history" rewritten by the film studio and a general wondering if the whole movie was shot using cheap camcorders.On the plus side, now I have seen it maybe I am able to steer others away from it. Then maybe my 108 minutes would not seem so futile.1/10 because IMDb won't let me rate at 0. I will have to watch Lawrence of Arabia now to remind me how great Peter O'Toole was.
