My son, josh, and I enjoyed the movie very much. It was well acted and the action was all that we expected. It also gave me chance to tell him about the story of King Arthur and to interest him in reading 'The Once and Future King" by T.H. White.

This is the only movie I've ever seen that gives an account of pre-Arthur history. I'm a literature teacher and am well versed in Arthurian literature, and while there is considerable literary licence taken with the historical accounting of Arthur, it was superbly contrived, beautifully choreographed and exceedingly entertaining. I would see it again.

I was reading reviews on this movie, and I realized.. that some of you people have posted your opinions on the movie, and you havent even seen it! Of course not all movies can live up to the likes of TROY, GLADIATOR, and 300..... doesnt mean that its not a good movie. I have gone to see movies that had "bad" reviews from "film critics"... and actuallythought it was an enjoyable movie! That just goes to show you that everyone one has their own opinion, and is entitled to it obviously. But geeez.. can you at least go see the movie before you start tearing it apart! I'm going to see it this afternoon, AND THEN... I will post my review and rating! UPDATE!!!!!!!! OK, so I went and saw the movie... No, it was not up to the standards of TROY, GLADIATOR, or 300... the acting was shady at times. You could tell this was a flim made on a budget. But overall.. if your into that type of movie, and the whole "Excalibur" ... story, then you may want to go see it. DVD!!!!

Although the story of King Aurthur and his legendary sword have been told countless times, The Last Legion brought a fresh telling. This prequel creatively combined history with fantasy on a canvas to form a colorful movie. The Last Legion had every element a good movie should: comedy, action, adventure, a love story, and a greater cause. The ending especially tied the movie in directly with the Aurthur Legend. At times the movie was a little slower than I would have liked, but it is one I will still add to my DVD collection as soon as it's available.

Unfortunately, once again we are viewing a movie about Roman soldiers who speak in perfect King's English and wear costumes fresh from the dry cleaners. When will Mel Gibson make a movie about Romans with Italian actors? The musical score was out of kilter with the battle scenes enough to wonder why there was an orchestra on the battlefield instead of watching the action. Aishwarya Rai is enough reason to watch this movie! Ben Kingsley is fantastic as usual! The Goths are great villains but the main revenger appears to be more of a Viking. This movie weaves a cute slant upon the origins of King Arthur but is missing any magical feelings. It's a B-movie, enjoy it!
