the eagle

[Statius]

I agree with Vindex, I did not much care for Centurion at first either, but it grew on me, and I have watched if a few times, and replayed the battle scene several times, and I feel irritatingly could have been filmed better... Why did every legionary abandon their shield after the fighting began?

I took part in most of the Legionary fight scenes in Centurion and wasn't aware that the majority of the Legionaries did abandon their Scutum's except for when we were playing corpses lying on the forest floor with lots of theatrical blood being poured over us :wink: .

Absolutely agree with the obvious criticisms of the tactical blunderings of the ambushed legion, however it fitted in with the plot line of what (as people have observed) was a chase movie with Roman bits.

Centurion though did make a reasonable effort with the arms and armour, the segmentata and imperial gallic helmets were reasonable Carbon Fibre repros. For my money for what it was it was a better final product than the Eagle.
