I completely agree with Paul. The film is a fantasy ... Historical fiction combined with the King Arthur mystique. It's not trying to be anything more than that.
I saw the film as soon it came out in the theaters because 1) Roman stuff of course 2) tied to King Arthur!
I enjoyed seeing Colin Firth in a tougher role than he usually plays, and huzzah for Aishwara Rai -- I really loved her character. When Hollywood puts an ethnic woman in these films, she's usually cast in an submissive role, or needs "saving" ... Puhleez! :x I'm glad they didn't go that route.
Sure, we can keep poking at the historical accuracy and absurdity of it, but no one ever claimed it was a documentary! The Last Legion is an exciting adventure film. The casting and acting was very good, and i had fun. That's what we go to the movies for, isn't it? :wink:
