Spartacus (1960)

This is one film where, undoubtedly, the idea of it excites people more than the actual film itself. Just thinking about a slave who works his way up to leader of a rabble, fighting against all odds is something that people just have a thing for. The ever versatile "I'm Spartacus!" line also helps. 

But, in actual fact, a lot of the scenes are boring. They're dull and go for just that tad longer than they need to. The film itself is a long and pretty uneventful affair which eventually just ends without really getting any point across. Really, very uninteresting.
