Reviews

Just back from seeing this load of rubbish and I cannot believe some of the reviews on this site. It makes me wonder whether someone in the studio had one of their lackeys write some of this stuff in order to get people to pay to watch it? Channing Tatum has all the acting skills of a fencepost. End of story. The slave(another fine actor..ho-ho) starts off by spitting hatred at Marcus Flatulence (the Romans had after all invaded his country and his father had to slaughter his mother to prevent her being raped etc) and then ends by being the best of friends? I half expected them to go for a beer! At one point I thought that I was watching the Last of the Mohicans. Who the devil were these Seal Tribe from North Britain? Did any of these tribes( was it supposed to be Clans?)have Mohican haircuts? I've never seen any evidence in any literature to say that they have.I doubt very much whether anyone made any attempt at checking facts. The script was a stinker! If you haven't seen it...don't bother.

I'm a big fan of horror movies so I was keen to go along to see this. However I was extremely disappointed. It seems that once again they took all the 'scarey' bits and lumped them together for the trailer. Yet again I was suckered in by the hype. The cast were good, and the idea itself was good, but I came away from the movie thinking that they could have done so much more with it. If anyone was thinking of going along to see this, I would say keep your money in your pocket. What a waste of the talent when you have an actor like John Hurt and fail to use him to his potential. Yes he was good, but it could have been so much more. And as for making you jump? Where were the scares? Precious little as far as I can see.
