Here is a fabulous movie that mixes fact & fiction, sometimes telling correct events in a fictional plan. All in all, however, it is a film that is well done & well worth viewing.
It is a fact that Attila did spot foot inside the walls of Rome as a guest. However, it is deceptive that he was the guest of Flavius Aetius while both were grown men. As a matter of fact, as a boy the two were “exchanged.” Atilla lived in Rome while Flavius Aetius lived amongst the Huns. It was then that Attila swore that he would return one day not as a guest of Rome, but as its conquerer.
It is dubious that Attila obtained a liking for the hot baths of Rome during his youthful sojourn in the city. By all accounts of the period historians, the king of the Huns lived a very simple and Spartan existence, despite the excesses of his officers and his extravagant wealth. Gerard Butler also portrays a bit more of a debonair and “GQ looking” Atilla than I ever imagined the historical Atilla. However, that is forgivable. After all, this is Hollywood, honest?

It is a fact that Valentian III personally murdered Aetius (poor belief) in 454 A.D. As someone supposedly told Valentian, “With your left hand, you have reduce off your proper hand.” Also, the Romans did ticket a treaty with the Visigothic king Theoderic I to wait on in fighting the Huns. This was a reversal from earlier times when the Romans and Huns ganged up on the Visigoths. This is recounted accurately in the film.
All in all, this was an extremely profitable trouble. It is very hard to expose the dwindling years of an empire’s hegemony in 3 short hours. This movie does an first-rate job with the material at its disposal. The battle scenes are fairly well done, and they even pull off a passable battle of the Catalaunian Plains in the climactic sequence. However, the armies are a bit undersized; it expeditiously becomes evident that the film’s budget did not have the resources for an extensive employ of extras. But, the battle scenes are well choreographed & do exhibit off the “tortiose” formation of the Legions.
After the death of Attila, Rome held on to her supremacy for a few more decades before finally seeing her empire recede into the darkness. Rome was one of the greatest and most long-lasting empires the world has ever seen. It was people like Atilla and Shapur who helped push it over the precipice. As such, Atilla became one of the most feared, hated and respected men in all of history. Herein lies his fable.

Cross Lord of the Rings with a bodice-ripper romance and mix in a puny Gladiator and you have this two-part movie starring hunky Scot Gerard Butler as the marauding king of the Scythian hordes known as the Huns. The Romans called him the Scourge of God, and the staunch Attila brought Europe to its knees, but Attila in this movie is played by Butler as a tormented man with a sexy overbite and some family dysfunction. There is intrigue and bloodwash aplenty. The Huns are depicted as a rather Celtic, not Asian, tribe, complete with wood sprite who delivers prophecies to Attila, King-Arthur style. These involve a gaining ownership of a sword, with which one rules the world. Okaaaay….
Decent, albeit amusing, performances are given as Romans by Tim Curry and some other guy as emperor of Rome about this time frame (the year 452 or thereabouts) . Powers Boothe is Roman General Flavius Aetius who alternately conspires with and against Attila. The emperor’s sister, a hot-looking Roman princess in a corsety-type thing I am splendid clear did not exist in that timeframe, seduces Attila in a bath, even though he’s supposed to be in like with the red haired woman his tribe captured from a village. Men never change. Alice Krige as the emperor’s mother is noteworthy prettier here than she was as the Borg Queen in Star Pace but she’s bitchy and conspires against everybody, even her beget children.
Gerard Butler makes a sexy Attila, and he can invade my village anytime. However, he’s Scottish, and seems to be affecting some kind of peculiar accent here, where syllables plunge out of his mouth in an oddly non-commanding warrior arrangement. Fearsome Attila gets his comeuppance on his wedding night, all factual, but not in the historically suitable plot. But USA’s plan is powerful more romantic and candle-lit. Complete with remarkable Attila wearing a diaper configuration.
Alas, history lovers will net no huge interest here. However, if you are in the mood for swashbuckling in the Braveheart mode and eye-candy in the earn of Mr. Butler, this is the movie for you!
