Critics Consensus

It's a bloody geyser of Neil Marshall's typically stylish B-movie action, but Centurion is too focused on hacking and slashing to deliver original dialogue or interesting characters.

The running voice-over throughout the film felt unnecessary – whether as Dias’ interior monologue, or even as a griot of sorts. It served no instructive purpose.

Auteur cinema of a very narrow stripe, this personalizes a familiar genre to advance a singularly pessimistic view of humanity.

Features a commitment to craft that helps overcome issues of storytelling by providing a visceral, violent experience designed to get you in your gut and bones more than in your heart or head.

1.5/4

Marshall’s low-budget preoccupation with splattering blood and limb-chopping carnage doesn’t help matters—though it will please the same audiences that loved Zack Snyder’s 300.

It ain't art - although some of it's very pretty to look at - but it is entertainment.

3/10

It makes it all look like a rather fun - if easy - game. But I think I'll wait for the console to play it on.

Cheesy but fast paced and gory Roman survival thriller. I've seen worse.

Good plot, good historical movie

Jan 24, 2019

Gives modern audiences a flavor of what it might have been like to live in that turbulent time and place. Good acting, seemingly authentic costumes and atmospheric filming make this a frenetic but pleasing survival movie.

The Ninth Legion is full of geezers, it seems. Mavericks to a man. It's a wonder they can keep order. But they do long enough to venture into.tje mountains from Carlisle. What mountains near Carlisle? They look suspiciously like the Highlands to me. Too far even for geezers. Which is why the Romans never bothered. Massive geography gaff aside, it's an entertaining enough watch.

Good fun action film. Lots of over the top violence. Simple plot to follow. This is a mans film for men.
