Awesome (as the kids say)!
I enjoyed the nudity, although it wasn’t as revealing as I would have liked. Quite the epic movie though.
I was going to edit my earlier comment but there wasn’t a way to do so, so I will write another one. I definitely got my hopes up when we came to the slave sale. It was the only scene in the movie that had a glimpse of full-frontal male nudity, which I really like, and also some nice female nudity. Alas, that was the most revealing scene. As far as the story, we are left in mystery as to the ‘Warrior Queen’s’ history. There were definitely some gruesome scenes of what was considered entertainment at the stadium. I don’t really have a liking for violence, but I am sometimes drawn to these movies about those times.
It’s a very low budget B-Movie, directed by Chuck Vincent, whose resume was in the porn industry. It is what it is sex and vioence, nothing more. However, considering what’s on today. “Spartucus,” “Game of Thrones,” “True Blood” and the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, I consider it very tame by today’s standards
