Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cheaply made, predictable, bad special effects, painful acting...why does Fassbender make these films (avoid Assassin's Creed as well)? My gf and I started laughing at it got so predictable. Mostly I am not sure why this film needed to get made? - it just brings nothing to the screen. I think pre-dated GoT so it's not mining that vibe. It actually served it's purpose for me as I needed a bad movie on to minimally distract me as I caught up on email.

Listen, I'm a big fan of Michael Fassbender, a big fan of war movies, and a big fan of historical films. This, however, didn't hit the depth that I was hoping. It had nice historical significance, showed a side of the Roman Empire I hadn't seen before, but I was lost wondering who I was supposed to be rooting for, I couldn't feel the emotion that the characters were trying to portray on screen, and I was distracted by heavy violence that felt was put in the movie "just because." They tried to make this an impactful film, with emotion that you would find in Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and We Were Soldiers, it just didn't hit it. It's worth seeing if you enjoy these type of war films, just don't expect to be blown away or to have your life changed.

but not real predictable. one of film who reminds clichés and fight scenes, and brutal confrontations , a necessary love story and a good cast. all in the sauce of the dark atmosphere, with heroism as spice and few scenes of involuntary humor. bitter, great and ordinary. inspired by the Roman history of Britain, it is out to be more than an action movie in which cruelty could save appearances. or one of films who you see only for the actors because the story is far by elementary expectations. sure, the good points are not missing. but the director seems be adapted to a clear recipes who impose clear rules and ignore any flavor of imagination. Romans on dangerous territory, clash with Barbarians and the same manner to present America using the references to the ancient Rome.

Centurion is a story that explores the myth and legend of the Ninth Legion who were wiped of the face of the earth without a trace. No one knows what happened to them and this movie gives us one possible scenario.Is it historically accurate? Probably not. Is it a good tale? Definitely. In this case the legend of the Lost Legion is probably more exciting than the truth.The story is shot beautifully and moves at a brisk pace. The main characters are well developed and the actors portraying them, Michael Fassbender, Dominic West and Olga Kurylenko, all do a fantastic job bringing the main characters to life. As does Imogen Poots who plays the potential love interest in the movie's sub-plot.The movie has exciting and gory battle scenes but for the most part is a tale of cat and mouse that will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat. The story follows a rag tag group of survivors being hunted down and picked off.In short this film is well worth the watch. The story is exciting. the acting is great. It is beautifully shot. It has thrills and action, political intrigue, murder and betrayal. It is just a good, meaty, entertaining and, unfortunately, underrated movie. Highly recommended.
