 Attila delivers on action and romance February 2, 2010
R. Buster (Tacoma, WA USA)
The first time I saw Attila was when it appeared on TV. I was swept into the action and story then and once I bought it on DVD I was not disappointed. It was as I remembered. The set were great and the acting performances of Gerard Butler and Powers Booth both were outstanding, you felt their relationship was true.
If you are a student of history you will get a view of what it must have been like living the nomadic life of the Huns and the grandeur of Rome even as it's days of glory drifted away.
This is a movie worth investing in, for not only the story but if you are a Gerard Butler fan like myself, for Gerry's magnetic appeal also.

First of all, I did purposefully avoid watching the programme when it first came out: I could not be convinced that in today's world TV producers had budgets big enough to do justice to such a story. I was pleasantly shocked! I watched the "Making of..." featurette before watching the actual series and could not believe how much the makers were able to create with so little. There was only one moment in the entire series where the low budget revealed itself and made me flinch: the Roman market in the moonlight looked drawn with a pencil... Employing Lithuanian mounted police with their own horses and recent military recruits as the Roman Army was a stroke of genius! So, two thumbs up to the quality of the production...(I will say nothing of the quality of the supporting cast; just watch it for yourself and you will be impressed!).
With that said, the historical inaccuracies were unbearable... Very quickly into the movie I decided to watch it strictly for its entertainment, rather then educational (which was none) value. This was more of a fairytale/love story, then an accurate reflection of the reality of those days....
Last, but not least: Butler as the real Attila would have been a bust (for one thing, Attila is described by historians as short and, as a pure blood Hun, indefinitely ugly by western standards; Butler is 6'2" and, shall we say, MUCH closer to the current standard of beauty). However, he made a charismatic hero of a fable...(though I could have done with less hair extensions and no eyeliner). I wish the wardrobe department would have re-thought Attila's undergarmets. One in particular, a diaper like loin cloth, was just too much. Every time the diaper made an appearance, my house would echo with hysterical laughter (my viewing companion and I thought there was enough fabric there to fully cloth at least two grown men). I am sure it was not the intention of the producers to turn Attila's romantic escapades into comedic entertainment, but...
Anyway, entertaining story, as long as you do not look to learn anything historically factual from it, with a lead who is easy on the eyes... Money well spent...
