| The Last Legion | comment |
Rome is falling, crumbling into disrepair. In the last five years there have been five Caesars, and every one was murdered. Now the title of Caesar, highest office in Rome, must fall to the shoulders of a young boy, Romulus. Scared, naive, and unprepared, he is barely on the throne for hours when the dreaded Goths descend upon Rome. Deposed and exiled, Romulus is rescued by a small band of loyal warriors, but not before uncovering an ancient sword and the prophecy attached to it. Pursued by the Goths, the heroes are led by the prophecy to faraway lands where Romulus must find his destiny.An action adventure movie made in 2007, staring Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley, Aishwarya Rai and that psychic kid from Doctor Who, loosely based off a novel of the same name by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| The Last Legion / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The movie seems to go out of its way to avoid showing blood being spilled, including some rather ugly Jump Cuts to other characters reacting to a death when a blow is hit, then back to the original (now dead) character. | |

Conflicting Loyalty | |
| The Last Legion / int_14c791fb | comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: Within the Western Empire everyone is trying to balance between their own survival, survival of the state and protection of the emperor. Eventually most Romans decide to simply team up with the stronger side and drop their own agendas. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Last Legion / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: So many that it makes any history buff's head implode: square scutum shields, leather armour, lorica segmentata, using stirrups, armoured legionaries, early Imperial helmets, ancient Greek kopides, Pagan religion while both Romans and Goths had been Christian for over a century, and, most of all, displaying Rome as still the capital of the Western Roman Empire while the historical capital by this time was Ravenna - just a few to mention. The katar dagger used by Mira was actually invented more than 1000 years after the setting, and similarly, her fighting style, the Kalaripayattu, wasn't invented until the 11th century (it did have antecedents, but they weren't named like that). | |

Artistic License – History | |
| The Last Legion / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: It's Very Loosely Based on a True Story since the last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was indeed a boy who did disappear from history. But then it ends up being a prequel to the Arthurian Legend. Beyond this, numerous details on the nature of the Roman Empire during its twilight years (and for that matter, its hereditary nature or lack thereof) are unapologetically wrong. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| The Last Legion / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: At the crowning ceremony, Aurelius and his men are stunned to realize the "thief" they threw into a pool and nearly maimed at the start of the movie is their new emperor. Look closely and you can see Demetrius mouthing "we're dead." | |

| The Last Legion / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: After Rome falls to the Goths, the Senate and an official of the Eastern Roman Empire secretly send people to rescue Romulus and take him to Constantinople. But later they betray the heroes anyway after recognizing Odoacer as legitimate. | |

The Queen's Latin: The Romans and Ambrosinus speak with distinctive British accents as a way to represent use of Latin. Or because they are all played by British actors. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It seems to be superstition, legends, and old cults, and maybe just a little bit of good luck. Romulus's mentor Ambrosinus is revealed to be Merlin in the last few minutes of the movie. Then again, his only magical act seems to be that he hasn't aged very much. | |
