  Hmmm a cross breed here with a mix of historical fact ,or what we know, blended with your typical over the top action sillyness much like 'Prince of Thieves'. There are some nice touches here from the cityscape's and landscapes rendered in cgi to the attempt at telling the real tale behind King Arthur, Merlin, Excalibur and the events around that time involving Romans, Celts and barbarians. On one hand it does a nice job, the cast helps, in places yet doesn't in others haha Firth is reduced to a cliched action hero with invincibility on his side much like the 'hero team' *yawn* and his team are the usual predictable lot with the token sexy female warrior hehe the same for the baddies too really, your average growling bearded hulks. The plot is twisty and has many people dotting in n out which doesn't help with the constant mindless fighting going on between everybody and anybody, and the fighting is your usual one man army killing groups of baddies single handed type affair *groan* To be honest it's all rather silly apart from one or too reasonable performances, Sangster and Kingsley mainly, with the realistic historic backdrop attempt that reminds me allot of the old BBC series 'Robin Hood' with Michael Praed. Could of been great if it had been serious.

  An interesting premiss, but too many inconsistencies and a mixing of some nice sets intertwinned with some horrible cgi. What starts out passably reasonable turns silly once the "seige" on Capri begins - the baddie Goths running around a south mediterrenean island wearing furs and viking helmets - hilarious!!! Some of the fight scenes are nicely done, but as there are so many of them it just seems redundant (even Colin Firth kind of shrugs as yet another group of extras comes after him). There's a few nice touches once the group gets to Brittania (Ben Kingsley gathering the young folk around to tell the tale of the forging of the sword) - but even the climatic battle scene gets silly with young Romulus running around like he has a force field around him. There is the potential for a truly good baddie in the man in the gold mask, but then his demise in a battle with Kingsley is way too abrupt and short on drama (not to mention that when Kingsley calls out from the top of the ridge that he has vanquished the tyrant, everyone in the pitch of battle seems to hear him clearly - uh, don't think so! The final surprise twist is done fairly well, but I can't help thinking of the film Excaliber which dealt with the Arthurian legend about a gazillion times better.

  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 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 the main reason I watched this was Colin Firth well I think I made a mistake so did he, And Aishwarya Rai is annoying like always & her character in this movie is annoying too, One star for the sake of its final sequence well I mean the way I interpreted it for myself

  Awesome epic battle in the untold beginning of the King Arthur legend about a 12-year-old boy, who is the last emperor, is protected by a general, wizard and warrior. Ben Kingsley makes a wonderful performance as the wizard and Indian beautiful actress Aishwarya Rai is incredible as the sexy warrior in her fight sequences at the first time I ever watched.

  One of The Best Sword And Stone Movies Out there. Everything was Excellent. I can Smell a Sequal, Sword in the STone or King Arthur. A great addition tyo any collection.

  It was kinda of a good movie. "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 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.

  Overall, it's a good premise and provides a decently interesting version of the creation of Excalibur, but if you're expecting Arthur and his Knights to right around the corner any minute, you'll be disappointed. For the most part, the movie pretty well sailed on its own, but expect politics to overrule the action, hence why there's so many bad reviews of it. Shame, really.

  I'm convinced the director didn't know what this movie was supposed to be, I sure didn't. There's a big identity crisis the film undergoes, not sure if it wants to be a light hearted fantasy film, a sword and sandals epic, or a revenge film. Colin Firth, though strong, felt like he was in a different movie. Kingsley largely phoned in his efforts, though the writing sure didn't do him any favors.

  Historical adv. throwback doesn't quite cut it with skimpy budget.

  Rip off on King Arthur! The kids will love it but definitely it's no Troy, 300 or King Arthur

• Edward S

  
  Terrible.

  I didn't get past the 10 minute mark. I was immediately uninterested.

  The main character should have been Firth's character, not the kid. This is sad if this is the best entertainment the industry can offer the family audiences. Another point why does Rai, pick some of the lamest films to debut in. This could have been a decent film, with a decent script, better director and music. Sadly I was very disappointed.

  A rather OK movie. I expected a bit more from it, but I suppose it still did well. The movie takes place during the time of fall of Roman Empire, about a young king Romulus and the Excalibur sword. It talks of how the whole Roman empire became pretty much against him and the remainder of his men, and now they must find a way out. The battles were not bad. They were not as stunning as those in Troy or 300, but enjoyable to some degree. The acting and story were OK too, again none really excel that much but they deliver what they were meant to deliver. I'll advise you to only watch this film if you like movies of this genre, i.e. the epic ones full of ancient or medieval sword fighting battles.

• Leo L

  
  Very interesting movie for those who love the Arthur tales of old. I personally enjoyed it.

• Sean S

  
  Ok, far from perfect. Still better then King Arthurand more accurate except from the lame tacked on ending. Plus Ms.Rai is awesomely hot.
