Hollywood cliché

Rating: 3/10 (14 May 2011)

Three things I hate about this movie. (A) unbelievably bloody- unbelievable being the operative word. People don't explode like blood balloons every time they come into contact w/a weapon. (B) short of the ninths' disappearance there's not much here in the way of history and from what I've read on the matter, its not even the prevalent theory among historians i.e its not a history lesson. (C) a group of about eight Picts on horseback is not so overwhelming a force so that the seven Romans on foot wouldn't stand a chance, especially when the Romans had a lead- and from that, the element of surprise. I don't think the Romans even discussed confrontation, I don't know, I'm not sure and I ain't watching it again to confirm. :-(
