Film Preview: The Last Legion (2007)
Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: There’s plenty to look at, but very little that’s substantive.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C+ Review: The poster is visually pleasing in its layout.
