"Last Legion" is great fun...don't miss it!

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2008)

I don't know about the historical accuracy, and I don't recall there being much "gore", but if you enjoy films like "King Arthur", "Gladiator", "Kingdom of Heaven", etc., then you ought to give this a try. Personally, I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD, so I could watch it anytime. At 49, it reminds me of the movies I watched as a kid (the Sinbad series, etc.) that weren't meant to be overly serious, but were just fun! It shows us examples of loyalty, bravery, and self-sacrifice, and those are good things in my book. The earlier review shown here seems to have been written by someone who really hated it, so I just wanted to offer another perspective. And don't miss another fun movie that came out at about the same time (Summer '07): "Stardust"! A great pair of simple, "escapest fun" films!
