The Lost Legion

[bunn]

This movie just goes to show that a selection of excellent ideas and well known actors in an interesting setting (the fall of the child emperor Romulus Augustulus in 476) can none the less produce a truly appallingly pants film. 

Also that Ben Kingsley should under no circumstances ever EVER be allowed to try to do a Welsh accent. 

Also, that trees are so combustible, they burn immediately all over as soon as you throw fire at them!  Who knew? 

I wish I had peanuts to throw at the screen.  I feel that would help.   However, I had the lurgi today and have mostly been asleep, so it was pretty much the kind of thing I felt able to cope with...
