Trivia:
The title is translated as "The Legend of King Arthur's Sword" in Thai. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The sword the legendary king Arthur pulled from the stone was not Excalibur, he pulled a sword from the stone in the legend but that one later broke in battle, so he had a new blade forged: Excalibur. It would not make sense to most viewers however, if it wasn't Excalibur in the stone. more

Delightful Adventure, 19 July 2008
8/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In 460 AD, the Goths leaded by Odoacer (Peter Mullan) invade Rome; kill the parents of the Caesar Romulus Augustus (Thomas Sangster) and send the boy and his tutor Ambrosinus (Ben Kingsley) to a prison in Capri. The govern of Constantinople together with Senator Nestor (John Hannah) send the warrior Mira (Aishwarya Rai) to help the loyal commander Aurelius (Colin Firth) to rescue Romulus with a few soldiers that have survived the attack and bring him to Constantinople. They succeed in their mission but when they return, they discover that they have been betrayed by Nestor. Without any other alternative, they navigate to Britannia to meet the last Roman legion, but they have a huge surprise.

"The Last Legion" is a delightful adventure absolutely underrated in IMDb. The story recalls those classic adventures of Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks Jr., with good plot and no gore and a wonderful cinematography, indeed a great family entertainment. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "A Última Legião" ("The Last Legion")
