    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.

    Actually I enjoyed it as a bit of cheap hokum, same with King Arthur and The Scorpian King.

    If someone made Conan today all people would do it bitch about how conan was actually half an inch taller. Entertainment is entertainment.

    From what I saw of this they aren't making a big thing of this being history.

    Conan gets off the hook by not even pretending any historical references.
    "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."

    I ve seen the movie last week. It was acceptable in the first minutes, but as the eastern bodyguard was bathing and the other guy found "his" clothes, i was convinced that this movie will not furfill even my lowest expactations. Before i watched the movie i ve read the description on the germanwikipediapage. There is written:

    "The Last Legion ist der Titel eines Historienfilms, der im August 2007 in die Kinos kommen wird."

    Translation:
    "The last Legion is the titel of a historymovie, coming August 2007 at a theatre near you."

    A historymovie? This crappy movie at a cinema? I dont think so. "Attila The Hun" was way better and it was only shown on TV.
    I like to conquer.

    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.
