Good concept, poorly executed.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Iulius Caesar its a very bad movie, Jeremy Sisto not believe in his role, he was good when play role of Jesus but Caesar is other type of personality, he was a conqueror, and this movie want believe that he was as awfully person, sweetly and good which made just pretty things. In whole film we not seed what is the things which motivated Caesars politic and military career... But stay.. its one scene in which he have a epileptic attack and after he decided that want a glorious career ! What ?? Entire motivation of Caesar an his ambition was reduced at a epileptic attack ? Yes! I believe that , a mans which make this movie a have a mission : Caesar humanization, but humanization not made with lies and omissions ! A really historically Caesar a was more complete person, is true that he had a dark part ( mas murders in Galia, and made a much illegal facts in his consulship )but in this a really person he have good and bad parts as all mans in the world. With lies not made a good things, and good movies !

My comments are mainly about the already existing comments which are nonsensical. Firstly, someone writes that it is a goof that Caesar claims to be a descendant of Venus, and that Venus is the Greek name, whereas the roman is Aphrodite. THAT is not the case: Venus is the roman name, and Aphrodite the Greek. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of mythology can tell you that.One should not write what one does not know about.Secondly, there is a grave error in the summary: Brutus is NOT the nephew of Caesar but of Cato. Caesar had a very famous grand nephew named Gaius Octavian, aka Emperor Augustus, who is not depicted in the film but mentioned in the end credits.I think it is OK for TV movie, but like most Roman films the "liberties" with historical facts annoys me. Still, it is far more correct than most of its ilk. A bit rushed at times, but fairly entertaining if you're into roman history.

Oh my gosh. I love this movie. We watched most of it in one of my classes and I fell in love with Jeremy Sisto. He has the best voice ever! The acting was great. This was one of Richard Harris' finest performances, and just at the end of his life! I loved how in depth the movie went into the character of Caesar. It showed more about his personal life and family. It helped me realize that he wasn't some distant political ruler. He really cared for his wife and daughter. I didn't get to finish it but hopefully I'll be able to buy it and watch the rest, even though I already know how the story of Julius Caesar ends. This is definitely a movie I would watch multiple times, even if it was just for Jeremy Sisto!

I am reading Conn Iggulden's books at the moment. and although he changed a little bit of the real story in favor of the book, the books are close to the real live of Caesar.The movie is bad cause it does not do justice to the man Caesar was...The acting was not good, only Richard Harris was really good as Sulla, he will be missed...I really hope that a man like for instance Peter Jackson is willing to pick up the story of Conn Iggulden's Caesar. It has CLASSIC written all over it...But this movie...I'm sorry..
