The Last Legion

Rating: 6.5/10
Genre: Action
Overall value for money and time: 6.2/10

This movie felt like "Eragon". Though the packaging is epic like, yet, there seems to be a lack of punch to this movie. There are several unnecessary comical moments in this movie, which kinda lowers the professionalism of it. A young boy is the last Caesar of the Roman empire, which has been taken over by an army of villians. He and his last region of loyal warriors are to travel to the far north where they will find their last alliance. Everything is just an average in this movie. The battlefield scene isn't as grand as "Troy", "300" or "Lord of the Rings", thus it feels like a lower class production movie like "Helen of Troy" and "Eragon". Still, watchable for the light heartedness of this movie. Feels somewhat like a weekend afternoon movie - equivalent to the english action drama "Xena" and "Hercules". Comparisons are made solely to give you a rough idea of the overall "majestic-ness" of the movie.
