Quote:For my money for what it was it was a better final product than the Eagle.I absolutely agree. The story was a bit thin but good enough, and if they had not botched up the defeat of the 'legion'it would have been comparable to Gladiator. And indeed, for a smaller budget thn 'Eagle' they did a far better job.
Perhaps future producers of Roman battles should refrain from attempts to show the whole batle. This will always be difficult if you do not know enough about strategy, plus you need to use a lot of (costly) cgi to show anything of quality. Why not film from a individual's perpective and show confusion, shock and that sort of stuff? It would look much better than barbarians rolling down burning shrub from a hillside! :mrgreen:
