The Eagle (2011)

Pictures: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the-eagle-of-the-ninth/

In Roman ruled Britain, a young Roman soldier, Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum), endeavours to honour his father's memory by finding his lost legion's golden emblem.

I have seen better epics, but this is a story that I would remember. Well done, Channing Tatum.

Rating: 3/5.

This is the story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.

Stellar performance by the cast.
