Numbingly linear story

Rating: 3/10 (27 August 2010)

The characters, their interaction with the world, the Romans, the Picts, those were so unrealistic. The fugitives had qualities which did not fit the society of the historic era and lacked some which would have been necessary. The story was predictable and it did not even gave a proper hero to the audience.
People compare it to Gladiator but this film is very very far from it in every aspect: action, heroes, "philosophy". I do not even think of Centurion as a movie, it is more similar to the fantasy TV series like Herkules.
On the other hand it has a lot of nice pictures of snowy mountains and grassy hills and some watchable fighting scenes.
