Circa 460 A.D. Mira was born in a warrior-family in Kerala, India, was well versed in martial arts and self-defense, so much so that she was recruited by the Spanish royalty and re-located to Constantinople. From there she was instructed to assist Roman Commander Aurelius to plan the escape of 12-year old Romulus Augustus Caesar from a prison in Capri after his parents had been killed by the leader of the Alliance in turmoil-stricken Rome that has seen the deaths of five emperors in five years. Mira, Aurelius, and a Priest, Ambrosinius, along with a handful of loyal soldiers were successful in the escape plan and deliver Romulus to Roman Senator Nestor. What the crew do not realize is that their task is not over yet, for Nestor is all set to betray Romulus, leaving them with no alternative but to flee to Britannia, where they will be forced to confront a seemingly invincible Vortygn, whose main aim is to obtain a powerful sword that was meant for defense and defeat, and also ensure the death of Romulus at any and all costs.

| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderI will at least smile as I recall its harmless idiocy, in much the same way that one smiles at retarded people one passes on the street. |
| Reel.comTimothy KnightA passably entertaining hodgepodge of sword-and-sandal film clichés and Arthurian romance. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxWhile not exactly in the same league as the visually dazzling "Excalibur" and saddled with cheap looking CGI effects, this Anglo-Italian co-production has quite a bit of fun finding a direct path from the fall of Rome to the birth of Arthurian legend. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfTrust me, it's worth the price of admission to see Colin Firth, an actor of such steely emotional reserve, play butch for two hours in a Mike Brady perm. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim Lane...makes a hash of history, but...just think of it as a nifty adventure dreamed by an imaginative boy who dozed off in his grandfather's library. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeLots budgetary-challenged battles of the largely bloodless PG-13 stripe with folks in smelly looking leather suits and crepe hair clanging swords and saying 'Arrgh' a lot. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertPut yourself in the proper boy's-adventure mindset and The Last Legion's corny moments will just add to the charm. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn old-fashioned boys' adventure yarn...no great shakes as a fantasy epic...but there are far worse movies out there for young boys. |
| Los Angeles TimesJohn AndersonNot as bad as it sounds nor as good as it might have been. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe film is nothing to be ashamed of (especially if you're Kingsley). But it's as if everybody involved knows what the deal is. |
