The sword in the CGI stone.

Rating: 2/10 (3 April 2017)

The Last Legion is a lavish, all-star mythological/historical epic with an ambitious storyline that links the last Caesar of Rome with Arthurian legend; it's also horribly miscast, boasts stilted dialogue, suffers from poor visual effects and mediocre action, and mines every hoary medieval movie cliché imaginable, all the while pandering to a family audience with its child-friendly blood-free battles.
Colin Firth stars as Aurelius, commander of the imperial guard, who leads a small band of warriors (including Bollywood hottie Aishwarya Rai as sword-swinging badass babe Mira) to rescue child emperor Romulus Augustus (Thomas Sangster) and his teacher Ambrosinus (Ben Kingsley) from exile on Capri, after which they schlep to Britannia to try and find the last of the Roman legions.
Director Doug Lefler's previous experience includes helming episodes of Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess, and it shows, his film feeling more like a feature length version of one of these cheesy shows rather than the grandiose sweeping saga it so dearly wants to be. File next to Uwe Boll's In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) and Dungeons & Dragons (2000).
