Review of Centurion (2010) by Andreas O — 30 Nov 2010

This director never fails to impress me! This is pure epic in scale and hugely entertaining from start to finish with characters that you root to survive. The story isn't very original and is pretty much bloody graphic fighting and extreme chase scenes but man was it beautifully shot that would of been awesome on the IMAX screen but it never had a great wide release and it's a shame that it never made it to my theater, he's a talented director of raw mood and atmosphere.

The pace was also very rapid because before you know it it's over and it definitely left it open for a sequel or sequels and I look forward to going further with this epic bloody journey. Overall It has epic bloody battle scenes, breathtaking scenery, solid acting and it was a blast.

Sure it didn't have much of a original story and some characters were underdeveloped but if you enjoy movies like Gladiator, Spartacus: Blood and Sand and 300 you'll enjoy this one for sure. Highly Recommended! Can't wait until Neil Marshall's next offering, he hasn't failed yet, knock on wood.
