This Attila version is about in the same league as the Anthony Quinn and Jack Palance efforts, but with better production values. Butler, who plays Attila is not quite up to Quinn's acting ability or Palance's screen presence, but he does benefit from having a much better supporting cast; especially Powers Booth, who does some of his best work.
The battle scenes are well done, and reminiscent of Spartacus (especially the rolling fire bit). There is some question about some of the siege battles of the Huns, who were primarily a calvary unit; not big on big machinery, like catapults and middle-ages machines. But the film's the thing. And it is watchable and well-paced, so it is entertaining. Enjoy the carnage.
