Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2007)

It's baffling that this film didn't do better at the box office. Of course, there was no marketing; maybe that had something to do with it. Word has it that the studio feared negative reviews so that there were no advance screenings. A lot of the critics are cynics who travel in packs.
Though predictable, Last Legion was thoroughly enjoyable. Good performances all around boosted the watchability factor. The film is not avant garde or the super epic of late, but it is arguably a swashbuckling affair. I am a supporter of the challenging art film, and, nevertheless, I liked this film. There were some interesting things going on, for instance, the romance.
