Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

bkoganbing The Avenger covers the story of Aeneas and how he led some survivors of Troy into exile on the Italian peninsula. Steve Reeves repeats his role Aeneas from The Trojan War as the exiled Trojans look to make a new home.Unfortunately in Etruscan Italy their addition complicates what looks like a delicately balanced situation among a lot of petty kings. One of them covets the land the Trojans have been granted on to settle.In the tradition of the Trojan War the film is cut above a lot of the Peplum epics that the Italians were churning out in the early 60s, taking advantage of those sets left over from Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis. It's all based on Virgil's Aeneid.And we get to see more of Steve Reeves physical development. That's what many were plunking their money down to see/

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1962, A young wandering Aeneas finds Italy after the Trojan war. He helps the country with his best abilities.*Special Stars- Steve Reeves, Carla Marlier *Theme- Inside a bodybuilder, there's a political leader trying to get out.*Trivia/location/goofs- Italian film. Dubbed in English. Mr. Reeves (an award winning international bodybuilder) becomes the icon for this type of legendary hero role and later helps Arnold Swartzenegger to take over Mr. Reeves cloak of strongman stardom. Horses' saddle stirrups and cornfields are not of this early Roman period.*Emotion- A boring and too long 'sword and sandal' film. I tend too like these epics. But, even Mr. Reeves appearance can't help the simplistic and one dimensional plot and script action.

Poseidon-3 Famous muscle man Reeves appears here in a sequel of sorts to "The Trojan Horse". Having been displaced, along with a large contingent of his people, after The Trojan War, Reeves attempts to settle in a patch of land along the Tiber River. The King who governs the area is fairly agreeable to this, but most of the surrounding territories are against it. The Queen is especially repelled by the idea and wants her daughter to inherit everything through her own contributions and an arranged marriage. Reeves and his people are betrayed and reviled until finally a large battle erupts with several different contingents fighting it out. Reeves is as handsome as ever, but perhaps less animated than he was in other, more lively films such as this. He flashes back occasionally (and briefly) to the previous film, which, by comparison, seems like a more grand one. There are still things to enjoy here, though, such as Reeves competing in an archery contest in order to thwart the cocky Prince who thinks he's unbeatable. There's also an interesting assault on Reeves' compound in which arrows fly while the inhabitants try to collect them for their own use in resistance. Camp arrives in the form of Orfei, as a curvy, but strong warrior princess. She rides with the men and fights with them while wearing a teeny mini-dress and a gold band around her impossibly bouffant hair (which she does manage to smash under a helmet for the big skirmish!) She's startlingly similar to Stefanie Powers, which adds an almost surreal element to her scenes. Then there's another ruler (on Reeves' side) who, while riding horseback during the archery contest, lifts up in his saddle to reveal a wedgie and two gleaming butt cheeks! While this is certainly not the greatest sword and sandal flick out there, it remains watchable and reasonably engrossing. Reeves is always easy on the eyes, in any case and should be admired for his commitment to healthy, steroid-free body-building.

dbborroughs Did Steve Reeves make any decent movies outside of the first two Hercules films?This is a sequel to the Trojan Horse.Trojans, fleeing from the remains of Troy end up in Italy and get mixed up with the Etruscans. The Trojans want a place to stay, but... The king is cool with it,the prince is not. A princess loves Reeves, but ends up involved with the prince... The prince sets up the Trojans and after 40 to 45 minutes of court intrigue a war breaks out, but its dull. Ultimately it comes down to Reeves and the prince fighting in silly helmets, which isn't revealing anything since its supposedly history and its in the trailer.I paid for this on video tape for what reason? Don't make my mistake, avoid this film.
