The Last Legion

Aishwarya Rai, Ben Kingsley, Colin Firth, John Hannah, Kevin Mckidd, Peter Mullan, Robert Pugh, Rupert Friend

"The Last legion" is a fantasy action-adventure in the vein of "The Sword and the Stone" set against the fall of Rome and its last emperor, 12 year-old Romulus Augustus, the boy who would rule for a...( read more  read more... ) day before losing all that he loved: his family, his home, and an empire that once stood for truth and honor. Imprisoned on the island-fortress of Capri, Romulus searches for a means of escape. He discovers instead "excaliburnus," the legendary sword of Julius Caesar, and realizes that he must do all in his power to save Rome. Aided by the clever strategies of his teacher, Ambrosinus, and the heroic skills of his loyal legionnaire, Aurelius, Romulus escapes the island. Accompanied by his friends and a mysterious envoy from Constantinople, Romulus travels to Britannia in search of the last Roman Legion – the fabled Dragon Legion. There, Romulus will fight alongside his friends to make his last stand for Rome and take his first steps to becoming a man and he king who would father a legend.

    This is straight outta the 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves book' its better looking and more accurate than 'Thieves'but its still too silly and over the top. I thought it was a serious film at first, the cast are too D-list and not very good, it needed at least one or two big name...( read more)s in there. Although Rai is stunning to look at x the idea of a kind of prequel to the King Arthur story is a nice touch but this is just too silly.

    I think this movie is under rated. its gotta simple story, decent action, likable characters and its funny. I liked it.

    The Last Legion just didn't click with me. It lacked the crucial sense of "epic-ness" that movies of this ilk need. The cast was unexciting, the story flew by without making an impression, it was just not fun to watch.

    The whole King Arthur connection seemed to be just tacked on...( read more) in order to bring in more viewers. There was just enough history in the story to let the viewer know how horribly inaccurate it all was. Couldn't they at least have gotten a decent number of extras for the boring battle scenes?

    i think it's a pretty good movie. i just watched it last night, and i think it's enough to give us such an action ancient movie. but aishwara role for me is just not fit. but it's pretty sad to saw what a little boy should carry such a responsibility to be a ceaser in very young ...( read more)age. it's funny, i like the jokes they made. overall, this movie is good, but they need more action and battle to make it more interesting. i only curious about the other enemy who still stand in rome, what happen to him? why don't he being defeated? that's strange...

    Oh where to begin. So many cliches - the mysterious fighter who turns out to be a beautiful woman - I'm sorry but give me a break. It makes me chuckle and there were several parts that made me chuckle. I guess I'll say that it was a passable effort. The action was okay but th...( read more)e villains sucked, Colin Firth, as good as he can be, was not right for that role and Ben Kingsley tried to make the best out of what he was given. Aaahh well. You never know till you watch them all.

    The credits did promise much more of this somewhat crappy film.
    Set and surroundings and some special features works fine, but the script is everything from boring to just raving bad
