Customer Reviews

Wet Saturday morning viewing
Yes, it's not historically accurate. Yes, Ben Kingsley's accent leaves something to be desired. Yes, Colin Firth is Darcy in pretty much everything he does. Yes, Mira is an absolute stunner. My son was riveted and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I have to say I did too. There's something rather comforting about constantly saying "Gosh, it's so and so from xxx " as a whole host of recognisable actors stroll across the scene. It's rather like "Jason and the Argonauts" for the 21st century. Fun, not a history lesson. There's action, some wry humour, enough blood for an 11 year old and all the ingredients which make up the sort of film which used to turn up at the Saturday matinee. It doesn't take itself seriously so you need to watch it in that spirit.

The Last Legion-DVD
Despite the adverse reviews, I decided to purchase this DVD.I watched it over the weekend, and wish I'd taken note of the reviews, this is pretty awful!! Poor acting, an awful script, no wonder it is so cheap!! A shame because with the calibre of some of the cast, it could have been so much better.What sort of history lessons did the scriptwriter attend?

BAD!
I've never been so disappointed by a COlin Firth movie! I read the book and I expected a lot more from this movie. The script has little to do with the book and the plot is weak and predictable.
