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)… Expand

    While not exactly in the same league as the visually dazzling "Excalibur" and saddled with cheap looking CGI effects, this Anglo-Italian co-production has quite a bit of fun finding a direct path from the fall of Rome to the birth of Arthurian legend.

    When a movie wants to be sold as a spectacle, it had better deliver something more spectacular than this.

    The film is nothing to be ashamed of (especially if you're Kingsley). But it's as if everybody involved knows what the deal is.

    Distinctly humdrum, The Last Legion, a boy's adventure story that seems to have been dragged out of the vaults of some early-sixties TV series.

    An enjoyable film with the fall of Rome. Great movie with an intriguing plot. Bob B should be raped by a retard with AIDS.

    I enjoy B movies. This is a good B movie. Ben Kingsley does especially well. However, if you can only tolerate A list fare, stay away.

    This is really a good TV movie, however it does have lots of action and although looks on the cheap side i really enjoyed it. Great DVD for the lads.

    One of the worst movies I have ever seen! From the low production quality to the weak story and overdone character stereotypes, this movie could hardly be more disappointing.… Expand
