Last Legion Fails to Impress
Aug 21st, 2007

Last month, we showed you the trailer to The Last Legion, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan alongside Hollywood stars Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley. We had high hopes for this movie, because it could have provided an excellent opportunity for the former Miss World to get some US exposure.
Unfortunately, The Last Legion was met with very little critical or box office success, being beaten out by other movies released around the same time, like The Bourne Ultimatum and Superbad.
According to TheCelebrityCafe.com, very few media outlets have even bothered to review the film and those that have are less than impressed.
Nathan Rabin, of The Onion, writes, “Though it’s never wise to underestimate the power or universal appeal of [Aishwarya] Rai’s cleavage and lustrous hair, that’s about all that sets the doggedly mediocre The Last Legion apart from every other sword-and-sandal epic about the origins of Camelot.â€
