Faith lost in Firth

Rating: 3/10 (19 August 2007)

This movie, though had a good premise and the potential to be classic and creative, was nothing short of a TV movie, worse than lifetime. At the beginning, I actually thought it would be worth the money I paid for the ticket... but the moment I saw the woman whip off her helmet and saw the oh so obvious cliché I knew this movie was a dud.
I hoped for so much better from Colin Firth who has always amazed me in his talent previously. Yet, upon seeing The Last Legion its obvious that he should stick to his romantic comedies rather than war epics. To mention the war scenes in this movie, is to say only one word... terrible. No five dollar word could explain just how TERRIBLE these scenes were. You half the fight scenes took on a Disney side where there was nothing shown or they were so fast you didn't have time to soak in the action moments.
The writing was frankly terrible and worse yet was the death scene of the main villain who only appeared in the movie for a total of ten minutes.
It simply isn't worth anyone's time.
