Rating: - Entertaining
An entertaining movie, I know better than to get correct history facts from the movies
Rating:  - Vini Vidi Vici!
This feature was very beautifully done, with a great script and a stellar performance from some B+ list actors. As a lover of Rome, I found the story to be very historically accurate, which is always a nice thing for a history geek like me. Furthermore, the script was so full of depth and heart that I actually found myself crying at Caesar's death. It takes a lot for a tragedy to still make someone cry when they know what's coming, yet "Julius Caesar" achieved it.
Rating: - Much more intimate than the bloated movies about Rome
This was almost like watching a play. Very well done TV movie. Jermey Sisto was excellent as Ceasar, I hope he gets more good parts. Most of the cast was very good, except for the Italian import Vareria Golino, who, I felt, is a drippy actress at best. Other than that it was quite a suprise to watch a accurate movie about an ancient culture that we really have just scratched the surface of.
Rating:  - Not so mighty Caesar
Recently I saw Jeremy Sisto in a film in the cinema, and as my movie-going friend and I were dissecting the film afterward, we both were impressed with Sisto's performance, and tried to recall what we'd seen him in before. I remembered this production of Julius Caesar, but only after a while - Sisto's role in the other film (a light drama with a comedic edge) is very different from the epic, super-serious Julius Caesar.
This production is a good one for a straight-to-television production. ... Read More
Rating: - Imperator Caesar Ivlivs
I liked this movie - and like all movies seem to do (sadly), this one is a little loose on timing, characters, and so on. But this does an admirable job of giving the uninitiated a "conversational" education about Caesar.
