Better read the book

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2008)

Personally, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I can say that the book (named the same "The Last Legion" by Valerio Massimo Manfredi) is superb!. Of course, always a book will be better than the movie based on it (with few exceptions), but I recommend with ample regard that read the book first before watching the movie.
By the way, I also recommend you to read the trilogy of "Alexandros", telling the story of Alexander the Great from the same author (Manfredi), is dazzling and a relief after seeing the awful movie "Alexander" from Oliver Stone, which only focus in the "gay" aspect of the characters rather than the actual achievements of Alexaner, who conquered the known world by the greeks at the age of 33.
