    Default Underdue: Great Raid

    Will this suck? Any insightful fore-thoughts, Organs? I always like a good war movie, but I haven't heard much about this yet.

    I know of this action, as to how good the movie will be....depends on if they feel the need to Hollywoodise it. The story is good enough to stand on its own, but since when did that stop Hollywood?
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    I didn't think it looked that good. It just looked like another movie trying to hit on the whole military movie spree.

    It sounds like another Saving Private Ryan
