Legends live

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2007)

I really enjoyed this film for the sensitive way in which it talks about legends and heroes. In a world full of cyber-heroes, a legend made by warriors of flesh and blood who fought for strong values and ideals is comforting. The accent was not on fighting scenes but on the values people like Aurelius, Vatrenus, Demetrius served; the same values even a young emperor respected. Maybe it is not a spectacular film script but I got the feeling I really understood the message: It is always about the truth. All in all, Colin Firth's acting convinced me about that, he was once again great! And I hope to see Thomas Sangster growing up as a great actor, too.
True values are really rare these days in a movie; but i felt truth, faith and innocence to be part of this one.
