The Last Legion is a fantasy action-adventure in the vein of The Sword and the Stone set against the Fall of Rome and its last emperor, 12 year-old Romulus Augustus, the boy who would rule for a day before losing all that he loved: his family, his home. and an empire that once stood for truth and honor. Imprisoned on the island-fortress of Capri, Romulus searches for a means to escape. He discovers instead "Exaliburnus", the legendary sword of Julius Caesar, and realizes that he must do all in his power to save Rome. Aided by the clever strategies of his teacher Ambrosinus and the heroic skills of his loyal legionnaire Aurelius, Romulus escapes the island. Accompanied by his friends and a mysterious envoy from Constantinople, Romulus travels to Britannia in search of the last Roman Legion – the fabled Dragon Legion. There, Romulus will fight alongside his friends to make his last stand for Rome and take his first steps to becoming a man and he king who would father a legend. (The Weinstein Company)

Good historical entertainment. I'd read the book first. Aishwarya Rai is incredibly hot too.

Total garbage. Watch Rome instead.
Gavin gave it an8:
Much better than I expected.
Bob B. gave it a0:
This movie is such a piece of shit that I feel filthy having sat through it. I feel like a rape victim. Stan, Iaya and Jared are fucking idiots. This film made NO sense, dialogue was inaudible, overdubbed, bad choreography and no blood in battle scenes. The chemistry between the big brother and the little fag warrior was the only believable..no wait, I lied...it sucked too. Only a faggot with AIDS and who was retarded would shove this up their ass, and enjoy it. The only movie worse than this is Black Supaman. These people (actors, director, editors, and pleased viewers) should all die by anal abuse.

I thought it harkened back to the bygone days of film making-I really enjoyed it.
[Anonymous] gave it a0:
totally boring
Gene W. gave it a0:
The worst movie of the year. Worst movie of last year. Probably the worst movie of next year. Badly edited, it makes almost no sense and wastes a good cast. Terrible doesn't quite capture how awful this movie truly is.
