Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

When I was a kid I always assumed that this movie is part of the "Naked Gun" films because it's called "The Roman Gun" in Germany. And as a kid it seemed quite funny to me but when I watched it today I realized how bad it actually is! The jokes are few and childish making "S.P.Q.R. 2000 e 1/2 anni fa" totally boring. The only funny things about it are Leslie Nielsen's (who has very little screen time) usual look on his face and the last 5 minutes. The rest is just wasted time. I saw the German 95 min. long version. I can't believe how somebody would be able to sit through the Italian 193 min. version.2/10

This is probably one of the worst comedies ever made...not even Leslie Nielsen is able to turn 'SPQR 2000 e 1/2 anni fa' into a movie worth watching. You're waiting two hours for the first good joke, but after one hour you want the film to end, because it's so bad. I'm so glad I watched this one on TV, so I could turn it off whenever I wanted...if I watched it in a movie theater, it would've been a walk-out without any doubt. So if you find this one in your TV program...don't watch it, unless you like to be tortured!
