The Last Legion

Before Arthur pulled Excalibur out of the stone, there was the Last Legion.

The boy Romulous is about to be crowned Caesar. But soon after, Rome is attacked and the boy is taken captive, as is the mysterious man who aids him, pursuading their captors that the boy is worth more to them alive than dead. His general comes to rescue them along with allied soliders. In their journeys, the boy comes across Exalibur and they all head to Britianna to find the last legion of the Roman Empire to fight against their oppressors.

Somewhere out there is an R-rated version of this film, as you could tell they cut parts of fights out to not display the graphicness of the fight. The story was entertaining - i was expecting to be bored, but I wasn't - the action was decent (but not nearly as cool as 300).

This one stars Ben Kingsley as the Merlin-esque figure and Collin Firth as the General, as well as a hot indian chick.
