It isn't just Roman reenactors that have panned the movie either. I have not seen an enthusiastically positive review yet and it only lasted two days in the theaters where I am at. I'm not exactly in the backwoods either being located in the large part of Virginia near DC. After half a week the movie totally disappeared. The general public does not really care for accuracy, but the movie seemed to lack any form of appeal and I think it actually managed to outdo Pathfinder as a movie bomb. I've actually found people that liked Pathfinder. Not yet found anyone who thinks the Last Legion was a good movie. Honestly, I wouldn't bother picking it up on DVD. If your curiosity is that great I recommend renting it if you cannot wait for it to come out on the premium channels. The movie Eragon made little kids cry, but I think the Last Legion managed to make EVERYONE cry.
