I was kind of looking forward to Spartacus: Blood and Sand not just because Sam Raimi was producing, but because it also promised to be better than 300...At least that was what I got out of the trailer and synopsis for the show. When I first started the episode, I was expecting a lot of awesome violence, gratuitous sex and a nude Lucy Lawless.
I got anything but. The show had a weird stylized gore about it--it looked like a mixture of sloppy anime and unrealistic CGI. And the sex, although borderline gratuitous, lacked...I dunno, substance, or passion. The sex was actually kind of boring, which is the last word you would want to describe fucking. No gritty, dirty, hot Roman sex, which is such a disappointment.
If the sex and violence had been done well, it might have made up for the atrocious acting, which was incredibly forced and awkward, and not at all menacing or gladiator-like.
Also, Lawless was no where to be found, in case you were wondering.
