Pic from movie "Centurion", what say the experts?
#8
Matt Amt has it right as far as being compared to other films of recent or even not so recent years. I agree about the pants worn by the legionary. It looks like it is supposed to be cold - but even in movies set during warmer months, Hollywood and others have not only a phobia about showing manly wrists, but also manly legs! Though, maybe that is the actors and the extras who won't show a bare legionary leg! Perhaps it is that "men in dresses" thing. The armor on the legionary is an attempt but clearly shows Trajan's column influence and the "hinges" on the shoulder sections look a little odd. I get "starved" for Romans in film. Like Matt, I hope it is a movie worth seeing. Now, the question may be: Will it be shown in the States?
