    Marshall is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors. Dog Soldiers, Doomsday, Descent all exceeded their expectations and proved to be either fresh takes or perfect examples of existing genres. In Centurion, it has become clear that I'm not the only one who feels this way; the movie is big, epic, and has a budget behind it. The Cast is superb, with the Ninth Legion being memorable, and their enemies even more so. Effects range all over the place, from excellent and gripping, to overly dependant on CGI. Can we stop with the CGI blood?!? It never looks right. Bring back corn syrup and food coloring already. Also, the blue filter, though it works perfectly in this, is getting a bit overused in period pieces. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and recommend it highly.

    Roman pictures are great. They need to make more of them. This was a very good movie. I did not expect it to be this entertaining.

    Not a great movie by any means, but it is worth watching, Fassebender is good in his role, and the rest of the cast is good as well. The story is so so, the real good parts are in the action scenes, which are done very well.
