It had its moments...some of the fighting made 300 look tame in comparison...lots of heads and limbs being lopped off.
The problem is that there's nothing to care about here...the cast is great but the screenplay is just an excuse to stick swords in people...hard to feel sorry for Roman invaders who are supposed to be the "good guys" in this movie and hard to not like the Picts (bad guys) who are just trying to kick invaders out of their homeland...screenwriter should have reversed it and made it about Romans chasing Picts over the British countryside. They try to tack on a romance at the very end to save it, but its too little too late. The end felt rushed, and you could tell the writer struggled to put it out of its misery.
If you like sword gore from the days when men were men then this is right up your alley. The hot Eastern European chick from Quantum of Solace plays the "heavy"...a badass mute tracker who kicks much ass.

Re: Centurion
From the director of "The Descent;" that explains the gore, the "meh" factor, and the asskicking woman.
The flesh is weak, and the smell of pussy is strong like a muthafucka.
Re: Centurion
Actually the Director/Writter went into that, as far as the Picts had a good reason to do what they did and those Romans were soldiers, doing what soldiers allways have done, fight the wars they are commanded to fight and fuck the politics.Kazuya Mishima wrote:It had its moments...some of the fighting made 300 look tame in comparison...lots of heads and limbs being lopped off.

Or you could look at it like the Picts, who were backwards assed, human sacrificeing savages, scattered as seperate tribes with no real progress in socal or technological terms stood in the way of the Romans bringing modern (for the time) law and technology to their backwards islands.
Kinda like rooting for John Wayne killing redskins.
It was a decent flick, I dont buy some 120# bitch killing a fucking Roman general in 1 on 1 combat. (And Romans used stabs and short, tight swings with the sword) He would have run her through her guts and then fucked her ass.
3 out of 5.

The beginning was good, and then it went to shit.

That Fassbender cat was awesome in Inglourious Basterds.
Re: Centurion

Sucked.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Well it wasn't good but it wasn't a total abortion.
Loved the 100 pound pict girl punching a full grown man off of her from her back.
I wouldn't watch it again but it wasn't as bad as the Expendables.
