Centurion - the movie

[Sir William]

This was an awesome movie and I'll tell you why- there wasn't a lot to the story, not a lot of dialog but LOADS of bloody and gruesome action sequences...some of which made me cringe a little.  We managed to catch it on OnDemand, same day as it hit the theaters...after seeing it, I knew I would acquire the DVD in time.  Plus, two of the main characters were also Spartans in 300.

is it on dvd? i wanted to see this one

[Sir William]

It actually is now...I found one on eBay for $20 shipped; there are a few out there. 

[Sir Patrick]

Rented it tonight.  Not bad by Hollywood standards.  The violence is pretty gritty, but has a "realistic" as opposed to glorified feel to it.  Man, those real life Roman infantry men must have had some serious stones!

[Sir Wolf]

on my wish list for sure now. that chick looks hot

[Sir Patrick]

that chick looks hot

She has issues.

[Sir Matthew]

I remember briefly seeing some adds for this film and thinking it looked pretty good. It was in and out of the theater before I could even think of getting out to see it. Maybe I'll use one of the free on demand movie coupons I got to watch it, if it's still available there. After seeing the Last Legion, I hope that I am not disapointed. That was a really good film set in the waning days of the Roman Empire.

[Sir Wolf]

ahhh i think i'm the only one that liked last legion hehehe

[Sir Patrick]

I liked it waaay better than Last Legion.  Though I'm not sure that's a fair compliment.

[Sir William]

that chick looks hot

She has issues.

I liked her in Hitman, too.  She's really hot.  But the Red Knight's correct...in this movie, she definitely has issues, but understandably once you know the story.

I liked Last Legion too...but to me, this was a better movie if but for the gritty aspect given to the whole thing.  What I liked about Centurion is that you didn't get a sense of the clean and uncluttered majesty that was Rome in Gladiator (as Red Knight had mentioned)...the only references you get give the image of a distant place, far-removed from where they all happen to be.
