Profile of The Eagle

The Eagle can be described as exciting, bleak, and suspenseful. The plot revolves around masters and servants, an obsessive quest, and soldiers. The main genres are independent, adventure, and period. In terms of style, The Eagle is epic. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in the wilderness.

Summary of The Eagle

A Roman epic adventure, based on the classic novel of the same name, set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.

Not so epic - more a relationship tale

Very happy to see Tatum Channing redeem himself after "Dear John" and loved to see Jamie Bell all grown up!! This film is worth seeing for the dynamics of the (changing) relationship between master and slave. Read and rate it

I expected more

Being an epic drama with Channing Tatum, I had high expectations from "The Eagle". Unfortunately, it seems Tatum was not the right choice for the part, and the film is less compelling than I expected. Read and rate it
