The reviews I've seen of the Eagle haven't been very good, but I loved it, even though I agree with at least one reviewer who said it would have been better served by being R-rated, because "the audience for this kind of movie have all seen Rome and 300, guys."
They changed a decent amount from what I vaguely recall of the book, but I didn't really care, because the result was so delicious and full of Roman armor porn and British isle scenery porn. And Vow of Fealty/loyalty kink. ( spoilers and squee behind the cut )
In conclusion: Roman soldiers + ancient Briton + Vow of Fealty kink = OMGyay!
