A good cast wallow about in a story you can't believe for a moment.October 19, 2007
Crudely mangling Arthurian legend into Roman history, this creaky swords 'n' sandals romper trundles forward like a hurriedly upholstered TV movie.August 20, 2007
The movie rarely feels fresh. Even an absurd cage-match like 300 cared enough to be both rousing and handsome. There's no fun to be had here.October 19, 2007
Tosh, but disarmingly sincere.May 12, 2008
As the Roman Empire crumbles, undemanding escapist entertainment with wonderful production design and a cast.December 17, 2007
There are, after all, aimed at young audiences plenty of movies more mean-spirited, indiscriminate and obnoxious than The Last Legion. But at the same time there are plenty that are, alas, less frustrating.August 22, 2007
Every once in a while, though, Firth's eyebrow hints, Can you believe I'm wearing this dorky leather breastplate?October 27, 2007
No twist is too farfetched for this Dino De Laurentiis epic.August 20, 2007
Despite the occasional gleam of wit, very little is to be taken seriously -- not the story, not the acting and certainly not the history.October 19, 2007
A hunk of old Brie, left all day in the glove compartment in a car on a hot summer's day, could not smell more ripe than this absurd sword'n'sandal Roman movie.August 20, 2007
I have too much respect for Kingsley and Firth to believe they did this for anything other than the money, and to their credit, they give their best efforts.
