Review of The Eagle

The Eagle (2011)
1/10
Truly dreadful
2 April 2011
Just back from seeing this load of rubbish and I cannot believe some of the reviews on this site. It makes me wonder whether someone in the studio had one of their lackeys write some of this stuff in order to get people to pay to watch it? Channing Tatum has all the acting skills of a fencepost. End of story. The slave(another fine actor..ho-ho) starts off by spitting hatred at Marcus Flatulence (the Romans had after all invaded his country and his father had to slaughter his mother to prevent her being raped etc) and then ends by being the best of friends? I half expected them to go for a beer! At one point I thought that I was watching the Last of the Mohicans. Who the devil were these Seal Tribe from North Britain? Did any of these tribes( was it supposed to be Clans?)have Mohican haircuts? I've never seen any evidence in any literature to say that they have.I doubt very much whether anyone made any attempt at checking facts. The script was a stinker! If you haven't seen it...don't bother.
