Watch Julius Caesar For Free

Just perfect...

hyped garbage

How sad is this?

The acting in this movie is really good.

First of all: the trailer IMDB is showing on top of this page is not a right one; it's one from a very old movie instead. This is a great movie/miniseries on Julius Caesar. The facts are not way off - just a little bit for drama effect, but it's fictionalized after all. Most of the basic points are spot on. Most of all: the acting in this is great and the writing is amazing as well. The lines are memorable. It's long to watch - over 2,5 hours - but it's well worth it.

Too bad they have the wrong video with this movie. You'd think they'd fix it.

Julius Caesar is a very good film and it is worth watching if you're a sucker for history--though it's not completely historically accurate, for example Cato being a member of the senate when Sulla was in charge when he was only a teenager and putting Julia, Portia, Brutus and Marcus' ages the same when Julia and Brutus were at least six years older then Portia and Marcus. It was also disappointing not to see Brutus' mother Servilia, who was the love of Caesar's life, missing out an extra tension between her brother Cato and Caesar as well as the crude rumours that Brutus was Caesar's bastard son...But otherwise, it's a great show...So, what about the characters, you ask? Well, Caesar you might hate if you can't stand winners but he's nice to watch as too is his lovely wife Calpurnia who is the second best character in this series giving us so very wonderful scenes--especially her last scene with Portia and the dying Caesar. As for everyone else, Pompey is such a big-headed dude who I wouldn't trust at all--good job Julia was there (who is nice but she's irritating.) Antony can be a bit annoying, Cassius' special subject is the obvious and he might get on your nerves (her certainly gets on Brutus') Marcus (Cato's son) is an overgrown baby but he is noble and very sweet--he gives us a lovely scene towards the end with Cato and he stands up to Caesar. Brutus is the sort of guy you want to pat on the head but it's hard to decide whether you like him or curse him, and then his wife/cousin Portia who admittedly spends most of her time standing next to him looking pretty, does a remarkable wordless scene when she stumbles across Brutus planning the murder of Caesar.So who is the one you want to watch this for, well, partly Richard Harris—who plays the villain Sulla very well considering he spends most of his time playing friendly, old heroes—but mostly, you watch it so see Christopher Walken who plays the amazing and hypnotic Cato, father of Portia and uncle of Brutus. Walken is by far the best actor in this show—his way of grabbing your attention just with one sentence is remarkable and he pulls off the noble, stubborn and grumpy Cato perfectly making this film worth watching just to see his tear jerking death scene acted to perfection with the moving soundtrack this film has.Overall, I advice to you watch this if you are one of those people who is a sucker for the Roman history.

Just as I expected, the film contains tons of factual errors but I won't go into all that. I just want to get past that and fast.The biggest problem (and the reason I'm writing this) is the main leading actor. First of all, he doesn't physically look like the man he is supposed to. Secondly, his behavior is very timid and cautious. This guy doesn't have the elegance and determination that the dictator had. No sign of the genius. Why for the love of coffee was he cast?! Also, he is being portrayed as modern man with modern values so that the modern audience could relate to him easily.I guess it's because the movie makers need the money and audience is money. The other possibility is that they simply have not known what they were dealing with here. As this is a movie about one particular man, the main character is the single most important thing. I just can't recognize him from this product. These historical movies offer false history and many many people will live in lies because of these. It's a pity.
