Re: The Eagle
One of the best aspects of this movie is that you can take your wife, kids, or older grandkids. There isn't the gratuitous sex or violence that often accompanies movies in this genre.
The movie is more fiction than fact, but frankly I like the story and couldn't care less whether it really happened. Here's the Wikipedia link to the IX Hispana Legion. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for Roman history.

Re: The Eagle
Does this film incorporate Science Fiction monsters, etc.,, like the recent 300 movie?
Or did they finally make a period film?

Re: The Eagle
This is definitely a period piece. You won't see any crazy ass monsters. You will, however, get an stylized look at the Scottish highlanders and Celtic lowland tribes. That was one of the more interesting parts for me. One of the tribes they talked about was definitely real: the Brigantes. I don't know about a few of the others.

Re: The Eagle
It's what you'd expect with Channing Tatum as the lead.
That said, I liked the movie but regret the theater price. Better to have watched it on DVD.

That is good to hear. Will look for it on DVD. So many films nowadays are ruined with these science fiction themes, added to what we hope would be an accurate portrayal, that could/may have become a classic.
From reading a few books and viewing artwork, the tattoos and what clothing Celtic Warrior Princess wore to battle was interesting. IIRC these were some of the most fiercest, terrifying and suicidal tribes Rome faced. Should make for some fine action. Thank you

Wife and I went to c it last night. Wasn't bad at all. Would have been better if it had some fun bags but it is what it is.

Re: The Eagle
A complete waste of time. Predictable and uninspired plot, lackluster acting, zero interesting characters and only the occasional (and apparently accidental) historically accurate detail.

Re: The Eagle
How did this compare to "Centurion"? Saw that one recently on Netflix and it was better than I anticipated.
