no.101 The Last Legion

I'm not sure if this was meant to be a kid's film or not. It borders between kid and not so good period/mythology piece. It's rated PG-13 for mild violence, so that certainly doesn't answer that question. Surprising no gore, sex or foul language. How does that become PG 13? IMDB says that certain shots were removed so that it would get that rating in the US. Where does that leave us?

It's an interesting take on the Arthurian legend, for sure. How much is actually historical? Colin Firth is disheveled? Is that possible? He's always so damned tidy. Ben Kingsley? This just doesn't seem like a film he'd do. And the love interest? You've got to be kidding me.

Bit of filler, a rainy day watch. Nothing of real interest.
