Review of Spartacus (1960) by Mahmus — 29 Oct 2020
While aside from the awesome big battle, Spartacus may not feel much like a Stanley Kubrick film, it does feel like a moving classic Hollywood epic with great characters and iconic scenes.
It's corny at times and it drags quite a bit during its three hour runtime, but manages to mantain its status as a true Hollywood classic and an important, if at times unsubtle criticism of McCarthyism from writer Dalton Trumbo (the main villain literally has a list with the names of all "enemies of the state").
