the ninth. Among them was understood by the ancient Romans seem to have no symphony, but the ignominious disappearance of the 9 Legion in North Britain 120 years after the beginning of our era. When Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum), the son of the then military leader his post on Hadrian's Wall takes over, he is determined to resist producing the family's honor and the Romans. In early battles with bearded enemies (Islamists No.: British druids!) Marcus is a hero because of his injuries and directly into the RETIRED. But with the indigenous slaves Esca ( Jamie Bell, "Billy Elliot") ventures Marcus north of the wall where you can supposedly survive no Roman, to recover the standard of the eagle ...
here in the New World changing the honest staged, excellently filmed (camera: Anthony Dod Mantle) but in the main role of Channing Tatum weak plays sandal movies waves before some intense battle scenes, the annoying propaganda of a believing and ambitious warrior, the uncivilized hordes (Bin Laden.? ? Taliban) to occur on hard, now takes place, a slight change of perspective: the savage peoples Kingdom will receive their own distinct languages and with subtitles. There are the naked savage warriors with their full body tattoos. And even simple peasants. Although the rotation is almost absurd that get the old Englänger foreign dialects, while the old Italians speak fluent English! (While it makes sense these days to play the American Roman conquerors and conquered the British.) Above all, the seal-clan has a much more fascinating than the entire Roman commotion before: Hunter, dressed in furs and with gray-painted skin, Scotland coastal living.
Here Marcus discovered the golden eagle standard, and recognizes that his slave and companion of the Esca People came from. Here the Romans friendship experiences of one who has learned of enemy soldiers murder, rape and torture. Here, says one of the alleged barbarians, they would treat prisoners humanely, not like the Romans. In this place, the film has also stressed its strongest moments, a nightly, ritual feast away from the otherwise honest narrative gesture. But disillusionment soon followed. Marcus thanked the decent treatment with murders and battles, steals the gold eagle and flees. However, it saves only the help of traitors Esca. Now, even the pensioners of the Ninth Legion shooed out of the woods to the "honor" or to bring more people are victims. The more the Film back to the Hadrian's Wall as the border of civilization nears bad he falls back to the glorifying of traditional ideals Marcus can shine imperious as the protagonist stupid and frightening mercilessly throats -. Cut through the professional killing for their country is supplied, no post-traumatic treatment - even by children. . but an improbable male-happy ending, the novel by Rosemary Sutcliff (1920 - 1992) was large, very talented guys who wanted to do a true sandal movie without cannibalized much thinking about the meaning of their actions
