Is “The Eagle” historically accurate, in your opinion, or Hollyweird? I view very few movies because of the junk they put out, but I like historical fiction. Would you recommend this film?
“Is The Eagle historically accurate, ...I like historical fiction. Would you recommend this film?”
Oh, yes. I would give this film 4 stars out of 5. As I understand, it is based on historical truth that the Roman Army lost the Eagle Standard and eventually got it back.
The main character I think is made up.
But, the acting and set is really quite good. Very entertaining and keeps your attention throughout. One of my favorites of recent years.
