    Hey I'm sixteen and I resent that! Not that I don't agree with you this movie is just another nail in the coffin for history enthusiasm among the masses.(Not that it wasn't already at an all time low...) Now I haven't read the book so I'm not going to judge the core story. But this movie seems like it'll make King Arthur look like a docu-drama by the history channel in comparison.

    Honestly, why don't they just make up fantasy settings for these lame action/adventure pieces of crap? Why do they have to butcher our past by putting LOTR(Films not books) style superheros in where they don't belong? I know the film isn't out yet so it's alittle too soon to judge it but by the trailers I've seen its not looking very interesting.

    It is true, if this movie had taken place in a fictional world it would have been at least ok... As it was it just seemed like a very cheap & cheesy rehash (with a twist) of 'King Arthur' from 2005 or whenever that movie came out.

    The plot devices they used were also very predictable and dull. The female warrior and the instant love story ect.

    Was I the only one who felt dismay at seeing Vorenus From HBO's Rome in such a crappy role?

    Ironic isn't it? Also, Titus Pullo(Ray Stevenson) was in King Arthur aswell.

    Very silly and crappy but at least were not still talking about 'The 300'.

    Soon we can talk about the destined to be crappy 'Hannibal' movie starring
    Vin Diesel as Hannibal! How's that for a turd in waiting..

    Manfredi is one of the crappiest writers in the world. I know people who can write 1000 times better than that guy and haven't had the luck of getting a book deal.

    The Last Legion was pure torture for me to read until the end. Nearly dropped the book like 4 times, but I make it my purpose to finish any book I start to read.

    eh? what sort of LOTR superheros are you talking about that weren't in the books besides the constant focus on arwen when she hardly had anything to do with the story?

    Mentioning Legolas, the Master Wire-Fu Ninja, should suffice I trust ?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Yeah Watchman knows what I'm talking about. Now all we need in this movie is a super Karate expert Justinian fighting alongside Belisarius and his nun-chuk wielding cataphracts against the insanely body-pierced Alaric with Atilla wearing nothing but a golden cod-piece that says "Foxy Grandpa".
