I watched this on two separate occasions, since I missed the first part of the first showing. I thought it was very good, very nicely done. We hadn't been watching long when I made the comment to my husband, "Man, this guy is a perfect Caesar!" So I found it interesting that the previous reviewer had the exact opposite opinion. I think it probably depends on your own preconceived notions of the real Julius Caesar, but I felt he was portrayed with a good mix of heroism and sometimes all too fallible humanity.
