Attila (DVD, 2002)

This movie was much better than expected. I do recommend this movie for people who like to watch historical movies. While there is creative license taken as with any movie, this movie was full of excitement and lots of suspense. I work wih high school kids and at first thought it would be great to show them, but then there was an orgy scene, not real explicit but enough to keep the R rating is has been given. I love the action, the romance, the costumes, the strength and integrity of the hero, and the hero is what made the movie exciting. The movie is cohesive and does have emotional scenes both of joy and sadness. Has good behind the scenes views. Why did I buy this movie? For who else but the hero, Gerard Butler, a man with humour and much charisma. You don't have to be in the same room with him to have your knees weaken, he projects his sensuality and emotions very effectively on screen. Also, I did not have the chance to see this movies as I have no tv stations and purchasing this movie was the only way to watch it. I collect movies, not in categories but by actors. I recommend this movie, especially to any Gerard Butler fan. Lola aka rafflewench

Although this movie was made for TV I thought it did a great job telling the story of Attila the Hun here much better than Oliver Stone did with Alexander. I don't want to spoil the story for you but just don't expect huge computer generated armies like in Lord of the Rings or other big budget movies. Steller cast and plenty of T&A to hold your attention. Decent script and nice picture. But the important factor here was the storytelling and the direction this movie went. Also when HBO's Rome come's out definitely pick that up!

A host of wonderful actors and the first time we're introduced to Gerard Butler (and I've been in love ever since!). In all honesty, no movie is written EXACTLY has history went, but this movie was a HUGE delight and surprise. I watched it when it aired in 2001 and finally got the DVD.

Attila is beautifully made, Gerard Butler is and excellent actor and NOBODY else could have played this part better than Butler!! This movie is full of betrayal,deception and greed. And you can feel Attila'a love for his first wife.
If you dont have this movie..your missing out on one of the BEST movies made!!

Wow what a Powerul movie & Performance from Gerard Butler & the cast of this wonderful Documentary based on the life of Atilla the Hun. Full of Excellent Artistic Photography, rich, interesting Characters & complex often surprising relationships. There is a definite chemistry between Gerard & his romantic love which comes across on the screen as well as his outcast friend which adds to the strong emotional pull & involvement this movie creates for the viewer. In addition to being historical this movie has an Enthralling story line. I could & I have watched this movie over & over again, it seems there is always something I find new & interesting that I missed before. Definite 5 STAR!!!

Gerard Butler at his very best. Awesome action sequences, excellent story telling, it moves right along. Its a long movie but you don't notice, it flows perfectly from one scene to the next. Costuming is perfect, scenery is beautiful. This whole movie is a joy of sight and sound.

I've turned into such a Gerard Butler fan recently, by renting and buying his films. He brings alot to the character and almost makes Attila a charismatic figure in history. And I checked on some of the actual events, which the movie seem to be accurate about. I really liked it, it kept my interest peeked throughout.

I really LOVE this movie. I actually saw it in an electronic store and passed on it thinking that I could decide to purchase later--messed up and became hard to find. I LOVE Gerard Butler...he's a real believable hero. And I've always been a closet fan of Powers Boothe! The fight scenes are dramatic but not 'BLOODY'. It's a great tale of triumph, love, and war. I could watch it every weekend! If you enjoy tragic stories and a roomful of deceit-get this movie!!

Attila did not look like Gerard Butler. Attila was probably short, dark...and repulsive in appearance to the citizens of Rome. I prefer watching Butler.

However, what this made for TV movie does, is give someone like me a better idea of when Attila lived, and how he fits in historically, Hun,to me, means a person having early Germanic ancestors.

What was most interesting to me was the Roman courtship of Attila and later the Goths. For a time, Attila learned Roman military strategy and weaponry from the Romans. He fought with them. Later, he used this knowledge to damage the Roman Empire. He made it to the gates of Rome, but didn't sack the city. However, he acquired great wealth from pillaging.

The Goths, who also were taught to fight like Romans by the Romans, did eventually sack and burn the city of Rome.

The city was wealthy and recovered, but the Empire started declining which marked the beginning of the Dark Ages.

Attila, the movie, opens the door to a time in history we need to better understand. Current Democratic Nations are arming those who might later destroy
them. Roman armies was spread too thin. Toward the end of the Empire, Rome had
incompetent leadership.

Attila gives us a sense of the puzzle fits together, while entertaining us with bloody battles and impossibly beautiful people.

There is a lesson to be learned here...painlessly. It's worth watching on many levels.

The reason I purchased it? Gerry Butler. I would pay to watch him open a can of tuna.

Great movie!!! It's a must see for everyone that likes action, history or just a good movie! There isn't a dull moment and it is never boring. It is a very interesting movie, that is based on facts, with some fiction added. Gerard Butler is portraiing a very likeable Attila.
I would recommend it to everyone. Even my 11 year old son enjoyed watching it for the whole three+ hours!!

I remember USA Network showed it and fell in love with it. Last year or 2 Scifi Channel showed it and I wanted to buy it then. So when I seen it I knew I could not beat the price and it was new, I mean brand new. I have been trying to find this movie for a while now and well now I got it. Love the movie, cast, and story. Gerard Butler did a wonderful job as Attila, and Powers Booth plays an awesome bad guy.

I was curious about Attila and the history and although this is not totally accurate, Gerard Butler is Attila, so who cares? Liked the action. Think both men and women can enjoy this. Saw it on NetFlix and had to buy it for my DVD collection.
Contains lots of fighting and did I mention... Gerard Butler?

This item was very good priced. The item was shipped very quickly. The seller provided quick communication. I would highly recommend this seller

Excellent movie and well done. The "extras" provided a lot of insight on how the movie was made. Costuming and historical content was well done. I found it very entertaining.

Great job! I received the DVD quickly and it was new as promised. This was a made-for-tv epic, so I knew I would have some difficulty finding it. However, since I really loved the movie and wanted to watch it over and over, it was worth searching for. Gerard Butler is one of the best actors to come along and deserves all the good roles since this was made. He is going to be a REALLY big star for a long time.

I have not watched the movie yet it has been a busy summer but I plan on watching it soon but it came in very good condition

This is a very entertaining movie based on Attila the Hun. Gerard Butler makes for a very gorgeous version of this barbarian. Not an oscar winner but worth purchasing on DVD.

I love the movie and thank you for the quick sale. This movie is great and I lvoe Gerard Butler as he is of course my favorite actor

I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE MOVIE AND THE SHIPPING. I WOULD USE THIS SELLER AGAIN AND BE PROUD TO DO IT.

Its an awesome action movie. Anybody that is Hungarian should watch this just so you can see our history. These are the Huns and its an awesome history movie.

Action Pack Movie, also an historical figure. I saw this movie partially in the TV, and When I saw it auctioned in ebay, I would loved to buy this one and add to my collection.

I don't want to do a review, I don't have time to do one. I don't know why this section demands 100 characters or it will not accept. I was happy with the service.

I can't think of a better way to learn about history than watching Gerard Butler run around half naked....

Enjoyed it immensely. Love Gerard Butler, terrific all-around actor. Terribly under-rated in the U.S.A. Reason I bought it was that I saw it on t.v. when it was a mini-series and have never been able to find it in the retail stores or at the public library.
