Quote:Well, I have discovered by reading this post no one has mentioned the obvious, The Last Legion come on folks you cant get any more inaccurate than that. From what I remember of the movie the only accurate thing was that the IX Legion really was in Britain, and the Goths really did take over Rome. But watching it was like watching the Smithsonian blow up, that's how bad it hurt.
On the side of the movie itself, the storyline was original and if you could view it only as a fiction story it was good but when Legion is in the title you expect a bit more.
I knew that one would be so far off i have not even bothered to see it yet. I guess i do it a shot, perhaps if i go into it with low expectations i may be surprised.
And I thought HBO Rome wasn't to bad, the plot line had a lot of "creativity" to it I know, so that did take it away from historical accuracy, but i thought from what we have seen in Roman productions that Rome gave us the best costumes to date, barring the legionary helmets and the senators ragged togas. Overall i thought it was great, easily my favorite show ever.
