Oh, please, when will movie-makers ever do anything different, original and true to history? 122 out of 185 found this helpful. It's true that script does not focus much on character development but it does not cause any trouble in enjoying this action-adventure.
Centurion is a great film, and I suspect it's going to be totally underrated by the cinema-going public.
3 out of 3 found this helpful. Ridiculous warrior women who slaughter well-trained Roman generals and their soldiers: patronizing and stupid, so PC and so clichéd these days. CENTURION CATCH IT ( B ) Centurion is one of those movies which try to cover its flaws with heavy violent action sequences. With Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Olga Kurylenko, Andreas Wisniewski. https://www.amazon.com/Centurion-Michael-Fassbender/dp/B003XU02QG And as is becoming signature with this director, Centurion pursues his tradition to feature very strong and memorable female characters. Michael Fassbender is the hottest star right now after Hunger, Fish Tank, Inglorious Bastards, Eden Lake, 3OO and now Centurion he surely has made a Big place in my heart as an actor.
Enduring the harsh terrain and evading their remorseless Pict pursuers led by revenge-hungry Pict Warrior Etain (Kurylenko), the band of soldiers race to rescue their General and to reach the safety of the Roman frontier.On the outskirts of the Roman Empire, in 117 AD Scotland, the brave Centurion, Quintus Dias, heads north along with the dauntless General, Titus Virilus, and a small detachment of the Ninth Legion, after seeing his distant outpost being wiped out. Is it a parable for Iraq or Afghanistan? In the meantime, the Roman governor of Britannia wants to obtain favour with the central administration, hoping to secure a transfer back to the comforts of Rome.
Was this review helpful? The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. There is good and bad on both sides of the conflict, which is true to every war in human history.
Said super hunter inexplicably can't find Romans when they are virtually sitting in her lap. The bloody battles are very realistic - you get a good feel for what it might actually have been like to fight hand-to-hand in ancient times, frantic and deadly. 29 out of 57 found this helpful. Fassbender is in top physical condition and along with the rest of the cast truly earns his pay in this grueling, physical role. Of course I blame the production company or distributors or some such ninnies who I assume said to good ol' Neil, "Bigger production, bigger budget than you're used to....must have a love story to get a decent return on our investment." Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon.AD 117. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying Picts (they were generally thought to not have worn any clothes). I was skeptical since it was not from Hollywood, no big stars etc.
Some of the reviews here compare this to Gladiator, are they on some cheap drugs?? I knew this film was set during a time period full of men in armour with swords, I think that's about it really, I was up for giving it a go, directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent). Quintus Dias (Fassbender), sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' (West) legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon.

Though this movie didn't justice to his acting abilities but he surly did cover it with great sword action sequences. Was this review helpful? In general I have been pretty impressed by Neil Marshall's movies.
To make it short, I would say this is a combination of "BEHIND ENEMY LINES" scenario at the pace and editing of "BOURNE ULTIMATUM" set at the backdrop of "KING ARTHUR". Where was anything at all? Please, if you're going to try to add your own mish-mash of history, at least make sure it's correct. Michael Fassbender, praised to high heaven for his portrayal of Bobby Sands, is anonymous here playing a conventional role - more disappointment for the critics. Imogen Poots looked really pretty though she comes in last 30 minutes still she leaves a good impact. #1189 Centurion Mk. But when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines. Centurion is directed by Neil Marshall who also wrote the screenplay. Limbs are hacked clean off, stomachs are regularly impaled and the claret fluid sprays endlessly. This is a nice as well as exciting production with a big budget , great sets and thundering battles during the Roman Empire .
That's not far from the truth.

45 out of 80 found this helpful. There is just enough history to make the story plausible, for example the creation of Hadrian's wall is depicted. Where was the characterization?
Its a pure mess and the title is deceiving. DO they think we're all so shallow that all we really want in a movie is pap and the token tart to scrub up the filthy men? I never thought about it before, and actually this movie helped me to understand something. the love story is so out of context, and the witch is so beautiful, like a model, that you can hardly understand how she's living alone, and hasn't been raped or been made wife of some leader, not to mention the fact that she looks like she's been living in an hotel for the last couple of years with that make up?! The rest of the movie is rubbish. Was this review helpful? Taken from the point of view of a Roman soldier and is a wonderful early performance( from now acclaimed actor) Michael Fassbender.
