Anyone see HBO's (much-hyped) Rome last night? |
|
I'd love to hear your opinions. I got sensory overload about 30 minutes into it (was the crucifixion scene really necessary?)

3. I shut it off after 45 minutes of nothing happening |
|
My thoughts: looked nice enough, but the acting was crap and dialogue was stiff. How can someone manage to make the story of Julius and Pompey boring!?

4. It appears to be "The Young And The Restless: The B.C. Years" |
|
Watched last night and I think I'm not tuning in for the rest. Tedious is one adjective that comes to mind.

6. I thought it was great. |
|
But there was a lot of exposition. To be fair, it was the first episode.

8. I tried. Lasted 5 minutes. Then thought maybe King Arthur would be |
|
good. Same thing, different costumes. That one last 1 minute.
