    For a TV-made movie, this is an excellent historical action pic, although I'm willing to bet the writers covered the real Attilla in a sugary-sweet coating. I have my doubts that he was this decent of a guy. Turned me on (boy did it ever!) to Gerard Butler too.

Powers Booth does a good job as Aet...( read more)ius as do some of the supports, particularly the Byzantines.. A good attempt at placing Atitila in some sort of human historical context, though I question the positive spin he receives in this film...

    A romanced story of Attila the Hun, since his childhood, when he lost his parents until his death. Attila is disclosed as a great leader, strategist and lover and the movie shows his respect to the great Roman strategist Flavius Aetius, his loves and passions, the gossips, intrig...( read more)ues and betrayals in Rome, all of these feelings evolved by magic and mysticism.
