Leave your thoughts about Centurion.
| OregonianMike RussellIf I believed in the concept of "guilty pleasures," I'd classify Centurion as one, but I think I maybe just kind of enjoyed it. |
| Village VoiceF. X. FeeneyUp to now, writer-director Neil Marshall has specialized in horror movies (Dog Soldiers, The Descent), but here, he imagines and communicates a remote world with terrific energy and a passion for detail. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanNasty scenes are set off by some breathtakingly beautiful scenes in the wintry Scottish mountains, and a few tender moments, very few |
| FILMINK (Australia)Annette BasileCenturion isn't an especially memorable film but it's certainly a very enjoyable one. |
| Horror.comStaci Layne Wilson[Not a heavy-hitter drama] But the blood flows freely, the fireballs rage, and the slings and arrows are deadly accurate. What's more, the ending rocks - best downbeat finale I've seen in a long time. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikMy appreciation for Centurion is fairly simplistic ... and amounts to little more than its success as a bloodbath with an appropriately cynical outlook and a cornucopia of brutality displayed with skill. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA darned entertaining outing from a director who knows action and doesn't share Hollywood's fear of period pieces that don't involve Greek gods. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersNot so much a story with heroes and villains but one more of survival against the most perilous of odds, this vibrant and alive action epic is a total kick in the pants that's a heck of a lot more fun than it probably should be. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereBeautifully shot by Sam McCurdy ("The Descent,' "Doomsday"), "Centurion" is a throwback to the great Roman legionnaire and gladiator movies, but with prosthetics and "300"-style digital makeup effects. |
| Brand XAndy Klein[T]he only new thing Marshall brings to the Roman Empire subgenre is gross-out aesthetics. |
