Romans, you are damned. You have awakened the terrible anger of our gods and ancestors, and they will show you no mercy. We will crush your bones into the land you have desecrated. We will slit your veins and watch the blood burst from you and shower down upon our soil. We will swallow you up. And our strong green shoots will spring to life where you once stood.

See your gods tremble and fall before the wrath of Boudica!

Tom Delmar, Stunt Coordinator & 2nd Unit Director working with the stunt team on 'Boudica Warrior Queen'

Boudica

Definitely dud of the year. Imagine Lord of the rings done on home video by people off the street!

I don&apos;t want to spoil this for any future viewer but this show will probably never be shown again. There are few facts known about Boudica, except that she burned London and Colchester and that she was whipped, her daughters raped and she took her revenge. In this feeble production, London and Colchester are a set of tent encampments- which the cast ludicrously describe as a &apos;big city.&apos;  The actors either shout a lot or sleepwalk through their parts. Nero is made up for a silent movie and, given the script, its a pity that it wasn&apos;t. They threw in the salacious bits - Nero fumbling with his mother&apos;s dress- poisoning and threatening, but in the language of a wide boy.  At every point where you would expect some dramatic and memorable words, the script degenerates into soap opera. The battle scenes were large and animated but unengaging.  The story was corrupted into another &apos;look how beastly they&apos;re being to the Celts&apos; whinge with the usual dreary &apos;Celtic&apos; solo singer and predictable &apos;magical&apos; swords and a fey Scots magician on hand to give senseless advice.  In fact, no clichee was left untouched.  The high and important issues about power and oppression were treated like captions in a picture story in a teen mag.

So who was it for? Historians? hardly; Adults? only for porn value; Kids, only those who have never seen &apos;The Mummy&apos; or &apos;Lord of the Rings&apos;- This was like Lord of the Rings done on home video with a cast off the street. There were some talented actors involved, but this was no showcase for their abilities!

Emily Blunt landed her first role as Queen Isolda in the 2003 film, &apos;Warrior Queen.&apos; Find out how she quickly learned the difference between stage and screen acting on the set &apos;Warrior Queen.&apos;
