Because it interferes with popcorn consumption if Americans have to read the entire movie

Believe me, I know from personal experience that not even subtitles can stop the loud popcorn consumption.

C'mon guys..even if the film would be in old greek, starring by Plato, it would be still trash

**KaerMorhen** · July 27, 2007, 03:57 AM

well...let's hope it won't be boring like Alexander and pathetic like King Arthur but I guess it will.

Aishwarya Rai????

Who knew an indian actress would sneak her way in there.

**HunterKYA** · July 27, 2007, 04:11 AM

Looks to be more fantastical than historical, skewing too much of what other films have shone light on before and worst of all, it appears to take itself just a bit too seriously.

And believe me, the result is ghastly.

I can't agree more ... she looks good and all ... but when it comes 2 acting ... that too in a "action"-flick ... well that is quite a bad mixture. But i like her nonetheless

... good eye candy !

If you can't act in an action movie you probably shouldn't be acting... Personally I think her head is too tall. I find her unattractive.

Shes quite fit, i would.... but she wouldnt be my 1st choice out of movies stars lol

Ah I thought it said The Lost legion for a second.

The trailer was pretty bad. The narration part was what really killed it. If you just took out the narration and use captions it would do a lot better.

As for the movie itself I'll wait for on DVD and probably get it on Netflix when I'm bored.

Don't bother, guys. It's a rather childish action-adventure with some rather campy performances - check out Ben Kingsley's rather out-of-place and hilarious Welsh accent.

Kevin McKidd is in it too, quite bizarre to see him playing a 'Barbarian' when we all know him so well as Lucius Vorenus. He's probably the most fun part of the film, to be honest.

Otherwise it's lightweight nonsense.

OMG these indians spawn out even more movies than babies

The movie was a cheap LOTR, a group of people following a prophecy, mystical sword, bad guys and a little love story yadda yadda yadda ...
Rai was about the only woman in the whole movie and she really sucks at acting (and neither I find her in anyway attractive). She played the super warrior maid ...

But you see a fully equipped legion at the end kicking some ass. That part kept me from calling the movie a waste of time

ok, you see legionaries with segmenta lorica (sp?) at the end, and the movie plays somewhere around 450 AD ... but hey, the whole movie is completely ahistorical, why stop at the end

No matter how pathetic the reviews say the movie is, my love of the book will compel me to watch this, it owns my soul.

Also, is it me or is Livia a tad skinnier and more .... Indian than everyone reading the book imagined her?

Had that with Eragon, and suffice to say it was sadly the worst movie I've ever seen. Just be careful my friend.
