Hi Adam I just got my copy of Spartacus on 4K from Best Buy definitely going to check it out tonight. And once again the steelbook is not available in Canada. We have to suck it up again but I don’t understand why it is always hit or miss when it comes to steelbooks in Canada.
I got this when it came out a couple of years back. I have virtually every 4k and can confidently say that none have made my jaw drop like this did when I first put the disc in. To this day the best picture I have seen. If you don’t have it do yourself a favour and buy it. Epic movie with an awesome presentation. 🔥🔥🔥
I just ordered it online and that's great to hear! Always on the hunt for demo-worthy content. Would you say it's as good as Vertigo or The Ten Commandments remasters?
@simonmcpartlin6547 that's great to hear. And since you said you've seen a bunch, have you seen Full Metal Jacket and Shindlers List? Those 2 and Sparticus I have all shipping to me currently, and heard those other too are fantastic as well.
@@Jackp2003 Yes I have both of them. Not in the Spartacus league but both are excellent. I will have a think about my top 5 classics on 4k. (Excluding those already mentioned).
Gonna pick this one up in 4K now that i know it is comparable to 2001:A Space Odyssey picture quality. Thanks for the review. On a side note picked up 4K Groundhog Day this afternoon for 9.95€, Yay!
I actually received the slipcover edition of this movie just last Saturday. I've never seen this movie before, but Zavvi had a 2 for 28 Euro sale, so I picked up Spartacus and 300. For this price I think you can't go wrong. Considering how much time and effort has gone into restoring such an old movie, it's already worth the 14 Euro just to show your appreciation for the restoration process.
It's hard to believe that Kubrick dismissed this film afterwards because he didn't have total control. We can still love it though. You really gave me a mouth watering review!
Well when you have his catalog of films, you’d see why he rather not claim this movie. Not this dismissing this movie, but it’s not better than 2001, Clockwork Orange, Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, or Fullmetal Jacket
@@markgarcia8253 Of course SPARTACUS isn't better than the films Kubrick had total control over, but it is a quality epic with a great cast that fans can still enjoy. Even if the director didn't!
There are definitely other 4k-releases in general ,and Kubrick-films in particular I want to pick up before this one; I'll wait until I have the cash sittin' around and perhaps the price will dip at some point as well. PS: LOVE the Alfalfa/Tintin hair!
Thanks for the review adam! I’ve personally never seen the movie. But I did buy this steelbook after seeing the video on review plus on Tuesday. It looked absolutely gorgeous and I couldn’t pass it up. Also my birthdays on the 30th. I’ll be 29. How old are you?
@@MovieGuy365 Drove 50miles to my nearest Best Buy and of course they were totally sold out of all 4K Spartacus Editions. Ordered online in the store. Lol
One of my favorite movies. Cant wait to purchase. Hope they put The Ten Commandments and Benhur soon

I am spartacus, I will definitely check this one out when it goes on sale, RIP Kirk Douglas!
one of my favourite classic epic war period movies and by Stanley Kubrick and produced by Kirk Douglas and incredible in 4K

That's a great little curl on the top of your head, guy. Spartacus? Oh yes, fabulous movie. :)
Am I going to review Spartacus and NOT have a curl on my head?
I’m glad to hear that you really liked the 4K restoration for Spartacus! I’m definitely going to make sure to pick this up!

Just an Epic movie period.
I will need to check this one out.
Is this movie like Gladiator?
strong similarites between Gladiator and Spartacus. both worth having
Great review. One day I'll upgrade from blu-ray to 4k.... Is this disc available in theUK?
Comes out in mid August in the UK I believe.
@@MovieGuy365 yep, 17th August is the UK release date.
Got it yesterday, going to watch it tonight. I’ve never seen this..
Enjoy, it’s a long one to sit through but so good!
MovieGuy365 thank you, I figured it might be. I think I split Lawrence over two nights. Lol

Happy early Birthday! I’m 44.
MovieGuy365 thanks man! Damn you look like you’re 30 or 34 at least! Shit
