"The Eagle": Not a complete cheese factory . . .

Posted by mr grits on February 12, 2011 at 23:27:11:
After seeing that great big hoop of cheese titled "The Centurion" aka "The Ninth Legion" I was expecting more of the same considering the main star, Channing Tatum (good old Alabama Boy). Not so. This story and script was a bit better thought out and committed to parchment. This is the tale of what happened to the IX's standard and the honor it carried. Seems Channing's dad was the commander of the IX which marched boldly into Scotland and was never seen again. Channing grows up, becomes an officer and ask for Briton as his post for the sole sake of recovering the standard to restore his family's name.

Well, he arrives and no sooner the attacks on his fort start. All the Roman gear and tactics looked complete and the Testudo was well executed in order to retrieve captured soldiers. Channing is critically wounded and given a medal and an honorable discharge. So, he decides to sally forth into the uncharted North past Hadrian's Wall to find "the eagle" being accompanied by his "faithful" slave whose life he saved.

Now the story gets interesting. Borrowed from Apocalypse Now it starts getting weird the further from the wall they go. Roles reverse and Channing becomes the slave's slave and things go downhill from there. Channing is Capt Willard to the Seals Tribe warlord's Col. Kurtz.

Not a real reason to line up at the ticket stand but if you are killing some time, why not.
