In the Last Legion, its the Roman Empires eve of the coronation of the 12-year-old Romulus Augustus (Thomas Sangster), but his mentor, the shaman Ambrosinus (Ben Kingsley), predicts disaster, then the Goths attack and capture Rome! Romulus and Ambrosinus are imprisoned on the island of Capri, where Romulus discovers the mythical sword of Cesar which holds a prophecy - One edge to defend, one to defeat; In Britannia was I forged to fit the hand of he who is destined to rule.
Aurelius (Colin Firth), the boys loyal bodyguard, survives to escort his Emperor to safety. Aided by Mira (Aishwarya Rai) a Byzantine warrior, they free Romulus only to face betrayal, now theres a perilous trek across a continent to Britain in search of the ninth legion!
The Last Legion is a great movie, and an awesome pre-cursor to the Arthurian legend too! Fantastic!
I collect DVDs, we have over 3,000 titles in the house now! I buy most from Car Boot Sales,Poundshops, markets, sales, and greatly reduced from the internet, but I only buy what I want to watch! I do a short report when I watch them, I got rid of almost 800 titles at Christmas 2010 (low score, duplicates, ones I'd never watch etc.) I continue to wade through them, and appear to be buying slightly less, but still watching like mad :)
