Review of Centurion (2010) by Samuel G — 10 Dec 2010
While of a lower budget class, Neil Marshall has made some interesting (and to me, engrossing) films. Again, you have to rate a movie for what it is. This movie has awful CG effects, extremely overdone hair and make up, and an entirely predictable plot.
However, this movie has other strengths. This is a total guy movie, plenty of action, plenty of violence, all with a cool sword slashing, bow-and-arrow, ambush-ridden medieval setting. Apart from it being the opposite of a chick flick, it has great photographic direction.
It has a lot of clean, crisp, well-framed imagery especially when it comes to the wides and outdoor shots. This really adds to the whole feel of the film, the vastness of an unconquered land. I definitely enjoyed it, but it lacked one thing.
.. a sex scene (I've been watching too much Spartacus, lol).
