Not bad

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2016)

I have just finished the reading of the book from which the film ' The Eagle ' was filmed, so while I was in the Roman period, I wanted to watch a film with story from that period. And this one is about that and it was not bad.
The story is interesting, but, somehow, although not boring and slow, it did not fully grab my attention. There was something missing ... Maybe a subplot ( to explain a bit more about the 'captivated woman' or how the centurion became one or how did it end so far from Rome or something ...) to give more layers to the film.
The scenes of the battles were good. Even the chase was interesting in a way. The end was too predictable ( that he would return to the 'witch woman' from the woods. Though I did not guess correctly the moment he'd return.
By the way, that 'witch woman' was too clean and too not from that period / or for the role she was playing. Somehow she did not fit into her role at all. Centurion was good, but, also, somehow he lacked something ...
There is a soundtrack ...but somehow I did not really 'heard' music.
Six from me. It is interesting and entertaining if you like the Roman period and bloody battles.
