 What I think about Movie

The Eagle is a drama based on friendship, loyalty and honor. After 20 years, the legion of nine led by Flavius ​​Aquila disappeared mysteriously in Caledonia, the current Scottish mountains, all strong when the ninth legion of the Roman Empire, consisting of 5,000 elite soldiers and led by Flavius ​​Aquila , disappeared without a trace in the northern province of Britannia and, once she was lost and gold eagle emblem representing the factions of the Roman army. In the year 140 after Christ, the son of the then chief of the Ninth Legion named Marcus Aquila intends to solve the mystery disappearance of soldiers, to recover the golden eagle which is rumored to decorate a temple in northern barbaric Britannia and wash the shame endured by the parent or Flavius ​​Aquila two decades ago. Accompanied by a slave of British origin named Esca, Marcus Aquila venture beyond the boundaries of his known world and beyond Hadrian's Wall and ends in Caledonia, where you should fight for life and death to indigenous tribes. What is not waiting to find out but Marcus Aquila is that Britannia's own slave Esca holds the key to solve the mystery of the Ninth Legion volatilization and golden eagle.
So this film seem to convince everyone that it was very successful, but the actors are first, "weak" (sorry if you do not believe it), overall, The Eagle does not offer anything. We can not enjoy this action because is interrupted by the succession of swords, axes, hammers and spears that we do nothing but stunning. We have a unique scenario and no relationship contoured. Maybe this a beautiful woman would have saved the situation, but we have no part of it . So, those looking for a historical movie, I can point to other films but it does indicate it to you.
