Comment on Spartacus Returns with a Vengeance on Starz! Michelle’s Review! by Anonymous

In a word, Spartacus: Vengeance was Boring. The actor playing Spartacus changed, but the writers completely changed his character as well. What?!? Where’s the anger? The rivalry between him & Crixus? The wit? The sarcasm that Spartacus so often displayed? The undying passion for his dead wife (so that he wouldn’t even have sex with Mira until she “forced” him by asking it in return for a favor he wanted her to do). All those aspects of Spartacus’ character/nature must’ve been the writers, not Andy Whitfield (RIP). I feared the show would degenerate into nothing but battles between the Romans and the escaped slaves. It was worse: the characters became flat, uninteresting, with totally different personalities. And the brothel scene was gratuitous and egregiously violent. (This from one who adores seeing Lucy & Viva nude, and seeing well done nude scenes, but that brothel scene: what was the point? Shock value? Boring… Such a disappointment. And I’ve waited so long for this season. Unfortunately, it was even worse than I feared it would be. It didn’t just degenerate into battle scenes: the characters got flattened and dull as well.

I would love to have this DVD. It was one of my favorite movies last year. I just got a Blue Ray DVD player for Christmas so I am hoping for this Blue Ray DVD. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I believe that your comment here is not accurate. In your review, it is clear that you have not read the books. Perhaps you read them after you wrote this review?

If you still need it spelled out for you why the rapes were included in the story, I will explain it to you. She does not like authority figures and therefore could not involve the authorities. With the exception of Armansky, she didn’t have anyone that she could turn to that she could trust. So she hatched this plan. Unfortunately, she misjudged her trustee.

Salander was orally raped originally and had created a plan to dispose of her guardian. She had originally planned on killing him, but then he may have been replaced by an equally reprehensible character. She thought that the 2nd rape would also be oral too, so she had devised a plan to blackmail him instead while allowing him to commit the rape. She underestimated his vileness and did not know that he was a masochist. After he anally raped her, she did rape him back as retribution, but also so he will never underestimate her. If he did not concede to her wishes, she would have no choice but to kill him.

Right you are. In my defense, they’re both short, ridiculously cute blondes. Which is to say, I blew it…

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for this review! I saw the Swedish version of the film and had to leave half way through because of the violence. For days after I couldn’t stop thinking about what I had seen and how terrible it was. I understand that it’s a part of the story, but images like that really stay with me. I’m sure I am a sensitive viewer! I don’t think I’ll be seeing the new version. It’s unfortunate there are so many rude comments about this article. I appreciate your point of view, and have enjoyed reading several of your movie reviews. Happy New Year everyone!

Michelle, I didn’t agree with most your review, but I loved reading it. ”…one lump or two?” LOL. Great voice.

My sentiments echo yours completely.

The first 1.5 hours of the movie didn’t need to be there.
