My Review:
The Last Legion is one of the few Hollywood films which starred Aishwarya Rai(Mira), an Indian actress who was crowned the miss world in the year 1994. This film also starred Colin Firth in the lead as Aurelius and Ben Kingsley as Merlin. The story of the film happens in circa 460 A.D. in Constantinople. Mira, an Indian born fighter is recruited to assist the Roman Commander Aurelius to plan the escape of 12-year old Romulus Augustus Caesar from a prison in Capri. Aurelius, Mira and Merlin team up along with some soldiers to work out the escape and hand over Aurelius to Roman Senator Nestor. The things that unravelled then made the three to protect Romulus from there too and the film goes like this. This film is just an Entertainment film. The story and screenplay was only average. Aish, Kingsley and Firth gave average performances. The good things in the film were the stunts and the scenario in which the story take place.
My Rating: 5.7/10
Recommendation: Its an entertainment film with lots of action and stunts in an Historic setting
