I really don't understand the poor 15% Rotten Tomatoe score! I loved this movie and watch it every oportunity that find it streaming. Kevin Mckidd's villain was perfect! An all star cast led by Colin Firth, what's not to like. A great and more believable telling of the Arthur legend.

It feels like a Sword & Sandel Epic mixed with Lord of the Rings knockoff characters sort of. It just hits all the basic points of a journey and nothing more. You get a sloppy introduction, than it jumps around TERRIBLY setting up multiple storylines before coming back together with the group into the most generic "incredible journey" over mountains for what feels like maybe 2 minute at most. Than you get your last battle because that's when it's supposed to happen and end with terrible CGI showing the changing of the seasons to set up the legend of Arthur for some reason. Acting, editing, and pacing aren't good at all here. Firth and the kid aren't bad but they just get forgotten about for stretches after being setup as the main focus. Than we get the lame invincible girl knight, Gandalf I mean Kingsley, and a couple other generic characters that I felt absolutely nothing when they died because this doesn't have ANY character development outisde of Kingsley, the kid, and Firth. The rest just show up, never see them interact, or know anything about them. I thought there was only 5 but couldn't believe when there was like 7-8 of them. This has a focus issue. Sometimes it's about the kid and his journey, other times the Roman Empire, the other stock generic characters, the lame villian who wears a golden rabbit mask, and it just jumps terribly before settling in the end. The music isn't bad but is overused and just gets generic at certain points despite a strong start. The cinematography is just alright. The direction is uninspired, the battles are just alright honestly, and there isn't any massive scale or scope compared to epics of old or other big fantasy battles from this time. It feels like maybe there was budget constraints and there is production value that shows with good costumes, sets, and on location setups but there's nothing unique about it to set it apart. If you told me this was a battle from Lord of the Rings or Gladiator I'd beleive you honestly. And it just feels like it's on autopilot once all the characters are introduced and stops with the jumpiness. Going through souless motions of a epic adventure by the beats with no heart or doing anything well. It makes sense enough and I can't really point to much that truly Rise of Skywalker level broken about it. But it does nothing to set itself apar and barely checks off the bare minimum to be a functioning adventure/fantasy. Skip This.

The only thing that is worse than this movie is the soup of pathetic music that is poured over this movie.

Rai was unbelievable!! Firth never ever disappoints. For a kid, Thomas did well. Kingsley never disappoints either. Story line was great. Loved it beginning to end. Should not have gotten such a low score.

Whilst some of the dialogue comes across as a bit stilted and cliché, the characters here are enjoyable if a little dimensionally thin, and the over-arching story tells an interesting version of the pre-arthurian myth. Not a film for serious critique, but a whole heap more entertaining than some of the many Michael Bay explosion-fest movies he's turned out, and Hollywood don't mind throwing millions at him to keep making more! Take your critical brain out, bring the popcorn and enjoy!

It is a miracle that Colin Firth made it to fame despite this movie. It probably helped him forge his own talent for it is clear that he managed to carry the whole movie on his own shoulders. If not a complete failure the film remains a very poor one however, despite Firth's endeavours, by so many aspects that it would take too long to explain why.

Fantastic Story Decent Combat For What It Is. Strong Character Development. A Little Bit of Comedy Also.

A nice fantasy film that is based on historical fall of Rome and the legend of King Arthur.

This appears very much like a 온라인카지노추천 show that may be shown about 7-8pm on a weekend. It features Colin Firth and John Hannah as romans and Ben Kingsley as Merlin. Its certainly cheesy but its not entirely unwatchable, just rather unremarkable. The cinematography is ok, not awful but certainly not great either and the special effects are somewhat poor. Overall its an ok film but no more really, so I wouldn't specifically recommend it as such, no.

Non particolarmente originale, se non per il periodo storico poco battuto nell'impero romano. Sequenze di battaglia non entusiasmanti e personaggi piuttosto piatti; ma sicuramente la varietà di location è notevole e permette di sopperire almeno in parte ai difetti. Colin Firth non è adatto a questo tipo di film, e sembra voler farlo capire in ogni modo. Poco da salvare ma allo stesso tempo poco da buttare totalmente via.

Seriously awful. Wrong from the beginning where it states Tiberius was the last of Caesar's line. Tiberius was never of Caesar's line, in this case Octavian aka Caesar Augustus. Tiberius was the son of Augustus' 3rd wife, Livia and her first husband Tiberius Claudius Nero. Adoptions don't count. From there the film goes right off the rails with one of the most far-fetched quests to find Caesar's sword for the new boy emperor of Rome, which some writer thought it a clever segue into King Arthur's Excaliber. Of course, any Caesar's sword would have been a gladius, not the weird long blade "thing" they keep calling it. A potentially excellent cast but mis-cast in this turkey. Don't waste your time unless you are, oh, 9 years old with no sense of good movie or history.

Good actions, lame story plot; it's ok

Quite a great cast of actors in a movie with a weakish storyline and not so great set pieces. But the performances make up for the short fall

This movie absolutely slapped. It slayed fr.

Entertaining, and at leas a little different thanks to its leads.

This movie lacks energy and focus despite its cast, scenery and action sequences

Very under rated film. Yes there are historical inaccuracies but it is a great romp with an excellent cast. Extremely entertaining.

Casting may be an issue, but it isn't the only one.

A bit hokey sometimes, but enjoyable for what it is and the great cast. Great fight scenes, too. Although as a history teacher, I had to laugh at Sir Ben's characterizing Tiberius as a great man--he was a horrible person who used his Villa at Capri to indulge being a pedophile.. When the children no longer pleased him, he threw them off onto the rocks. The history here was laughable, but movies such as this one aren't really meant to be a documentary.

You know when you watch a film and within the first few minutes you just know exactly how it will turn out? , well insert The Last Legion because it's that. It's basically a swords and sandals adventure film that looks an awful lot like a bad version of Indiana Jones but set at the fall of the Western Roman Empire and also not as funny. The movie is basically about Romulus Augustus and he becomes emperor, guarded by Colin Firth of all people (playing a character named Aurelius) and many things happen and it sends his city and the empire into dismay. The plot is just really dull I mean it's not that it's awful or anything but this was just made so badly that you can't even enjoy the plot or ever feel anything whatsoever for the people involved. Based on a book the movie see's an extremely long journey which in this film is more like 5 minutes long. The cast involved consist of some pretty big names including one from Bollywood screens of all places. As mentioned Colin Firth stars and he is pretty basic, he isn't as bad as some others but I just felt he was wasted and I have no idea why he took this job. Ben Kingsley plays Romulus's teacher of sorts Ambrosinus and he is really in the same boat as Firth, not bad but never OK, I felt let down with all the stars on show. The person from Bollywood is Aishwarya Rai who plays an agent from the Eastern Roman Empire and quickly becomes embroiled within the plot, now Rai is not bad but I did feel she is wasted like the others, her character could have been alright but she is yet again thrown in among the generic characters put out here. Doug Lefler directs and his vision I feel is left in such a way as Rome at the time, in a complete mess. It just feels so average the plot but the way in which it looks and feels, it just makes it very poor and a bit of a mess to be honest, Lefler never quite takes the movie up a step. Tom and Jez Butterworth are the main writers or you could say they adapt this but in truth if this is similar to the book in anyway then the book must be pretty bad because this is not written well as a movie. The script is like something you see in a bad 온라인카지노추천 or straight to DVD movie, it feels so cheesy and it even tries at times to make you laugh even when the scene is kind of going along seriously. I can't let this review go without the mentioning of the villains. The movie has a serious problem with throwing villains at you actually and not in a good way at all, One bad guy is the invading Goth Odoacer who is one of many Goths with Scottish accents and also a rather bland villain, I expect a villain to be notoriously evil but he just doesn't come off as that, not really a scary kind of bad guy. So overall The Last Legion is no good, bust, a movie I actually find hard to recommend to anyone. I mean action-adventures should be easy to enjoy, easy to watch and also one where you can watch it again in the future. This is none of the things I mentioned and to rub it in you get some silly special effects which only go on to hamper the movies reputation, Oh wait there, some decent fight choreography, so yeah there is one alright thing about this movie.
