The Last Legion

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.

Hell, if you all have read the book, you would have found that this movie makes it pure justice!!!!

They`re both pieces of crap!!!!!!!

(Actually, the Last Legion is Manfredi`s at it`s lowest)

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..

Is this true? Its too disturbing to contemplate...

It's sad but true.....

Thankfully, Hannibal the Conqueror doesn't seem to be picking up any steam. I don't even think they've started filming yet. Besides, the fact that he is actually trying to get a script with spoken Punic... pft.

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.
