The fight at the end of Gods of the Arena is also the best in the series as far as I'm concerned too. You can't beat slow-mo fire net. You just loving can't.

Just when you think they can not top the over the top violence Gannicus does a mortal combat finishing move with the spear punch.

Uhhh, that fight sequence near the docks or whatever in Vengeance where Spartacus, Gannicus, and Crixus all do their special moves is way better in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm trying to find the GIF i made of the part where the camera cuts to all Spartacus, to Crixus, to Gannicus, then back to Crixus of them all owning faces.

[edit] Found it!

Over the top was more like the Vengeance premiere where they are raiding the brothel and that chunky lady is pegging that dude. :stare: Yeah I can't get that out of my head either.

You know who else got addicted to the show?

quote:

But here's the surprise – after a disappointingly slow (yes, slow – despite the constant sex and violence) pair of opening episodes, Spartacus starts to improve exponentially until somewhere round episode five, where you stop enjoying it ironically and start to enjoy it outright. Yes, it may be the kind of show in which a tattooed warrior gets his face hacked off by a man armed with a hook; it may feature lines like "your wife has been hosed to madness by a thousand vermin cocks"; it may toss in pointless cameos for one-armed topless transsexuals – and all three of these things genuinely happen in the early episodes – but it's also not half bad. In fact I'd go as far as to say it actually gets quite good. There's just a hell of a lot to desensitise yourself to first. Good luck. Give it a go.

Oh and that nice John Hannah's in it, and very good he is too. Your mum likes John Hannah. So if she asks why you're watching it, cite his involvement. Just don't, under any circumstances, invite her to watch it.

I finished my rewatch of the entire series earlier this week and goddamn, such an amazing show. The finale still destroys me. And the commentary on the DVDs is great. Listening to Manu Bennett and Liam McIntyre fanboy each other is adorable.

So is there no complete collection of the Blu-Rays for north america? All I can find is a UK box set and ordering all the 4 seasons individually seems really expensive.

Netflix has the 1st season of Arrow, which has more Manu Bennet goodness.

Also here's liam in his next role:

Honestly, Spartacus does LOOK like poo poo if you were to watch a promo for any episode.

Though, lets not get ahead of ourselves, that movie really does look loving awful.

Yeah Spartacus made up for the green screen with gratuitous amounts of blood, nudity, creative cursing, overacting extras, an intriguing plot, and great characters.

Betting that movie will have none of that.

What I am trying to say is, don't necessarily judge a movie from a short trailer. I mean, Spartacus looked AWFUL from all of the previews. And it turned out to be a fantastic show.

What I don't understand is why do a Hercules movie that might as well just be a rehash of the Spartacus series with a little bit of Try thrown in?

Do the story of Hera loving him over and his subsequent journeys for penance. It could be great, if done right.

That trailer literally looks like scenes spliced from Spartacus and 300, thrown together.

edit: maybe with some Clash of the Titans thrown in for good measure.
