"Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena"

     
     To start, "Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena", the prequel to "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", was the most epic prequel to any STARZ mini series ever created. The whole season was jam packed with fighting, blood/gore, drama, and etc. The show takes place in the ancient roman empire, making it extremely vivid in its settings. I almost felt as if I was really in Rome with the characters as the show was playing. I am a very big believer in movies/shows displaying their scenes in vivid detail, and this show was all about it. The fight scenes were incredible! In the scene when "Gannicus" had to fight the opponent blind folded, Gannicus completely crushed his enemy and shoved the guys own sword down his throat. The cool thing is, that the blood and gore looked so real I thought it was a home video. The whole prequel showed the life of, " The House Of Batiatus" before the character "Spartacus" entered its walls. I was extremely doubtful of the series because the new episodes were going to not have some characters from the old series. But the show brought everything I loved about the first season into its new season, so everything about it was great. Two thumbs up to the mini series on STARZ, "Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena".

            For anyone who is into the ancient roman empire, good fight scenes, great action, superb drama, and excellent actors all jam packed in one STARZ mini series, "Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena" is your show!
Actors include: John Hannah, Lucy Lawless, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Dustin Clare, and many more!
