A good movie about those times in England and Scotland. Nice twist about how the roles changed. Fast paced and exciting.

Not a bad movie. Liked various aspects of the film, including the historical tidbits. However, portions of what Tatum did were cringe-worthy. Would not see it again.

This is an 'OK' war epic set in Roman-occupied Britain. British director Kevin Macdonald has done much better work and 'Eagle' is probably one of his less successful productions. Still worth a watch for the scenery and action.

Compared to the book this movie was horrible! Absolutely nothing like the book! But if you're just looking for an action packed Roman movie you'd like this. But if you're like me and loved the book, I'd advise you to steer clear of the…

The initial fight scenes, using proper roman fighting tactics was excellent. The rest of the movie was terrible. The characters weren't compelling or well drawn, the plot was simplistic, and the historical aspect was weak. Watch the first…

This is a real Guys Movie. It is full of homage to masculine values in physical and mental strength. The characters are tested for loyalty, intelligence, and diligence according to traditional masculine standards for valor. I thought…

There are 2 sides to every story, battle, war, or fight. A lot of movies depict only one side be it agressor or victims. A very few make an attempt to portray both sides. No war comes out completly noble and the same can be said of most…

An American - I mean Roman - fights against savage Indians - I mean savage ancient Britons. Beautifully filmed, but if you are looking for an intelligent movie, this is not it.

If you are a fan of Intense heart-warming stories about Honor,Courage and Loyalty you will Love this movie It's so good I had to watch like five times in a row... Channing Tatum was wonderful (once again) and really captured the emotions…

there wasn't enough swordfighting and the script was terrible

Very disappointing. Actors like Donald Sutherland and Jamie Bell, who are both fine actors, do the best with the material given to them. The biggest problem with the film is, of course, Channing Tatum, who is painfully one note and wooden…

There is a feeling, but only a feeling, that the producers intended to explore a number of very important themes: brotherhood, bonding, betrayal, clash of cultures, fish-out-of-water, heroes, fallen heroes, the noble savage, etc. However,…

Although not quite like Rosemary Sutcliff's book "The eagle of the Ninth," the Eagle is a great movie. I especially liked sulky Channing Tatum in the skin of Marcus Aquila. A movie to watch more than once—and remember to read the book too!

An enjoyable movie, good but not great. Some truly hated the lead actor (Channing Tatum) in this, but I thought he was okay. It feels more like a 'bromance' film, the loyalties between two men. The most interesting part of the movie was…

I thought this movie was quite decent. Channing Tatum isn't exactly Christian Bale as far as acting goes but his impassivity worked okay in this film. The storyline has been simplified from Rosemary Sutcliffe's original novel but still…
