The Eagle Ratings & Reviews
Solarfinder
March 17, 2025
well executed story line. I wouldn't watch the movie for accuracy, though I thoroughly enjoyed the story telling.
The Gutter Monkey
March 16, 2025
I thought it was really gritty, entertaining, and grounded in reality up until the end. Then... not so much.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
There's a predictable arc, as the two enemies have to overcome their mutual mistrust to survive.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
However you slice it, The Eagle is hokum, but modern-day Scots may get a kick out of the film's depiction of their ancestors as mud-caked hellions. Modern-day Romans will have to settle for less.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The latest sandals-and-swords outing, "The Eagle" has landed . . . with a thud.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A long slog through ancient muck, so-so sword fights and dumb luck.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Alas, from its scruffy period melodrama to its repetitious battles and endless cross-country shots, this film is all grandiosity with no real heft.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
Probably the only Western set in northern Scotland, and that must count for something.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The story sags in the middle, as our wanderers traipse through the highlands-not a happy environment for Tatum, who, before his journey even begins, looks all at sea in this distant age.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Wild-eyed, long-haired Brits leap atop the Romans' shields as the soldiers blindly hack away, the bodies so close that you can barely tell the victor from the vanquished. The battles in the fog and rain have a hallucinatory power.
Associated Press
David Germain
It's hard to go along for the ride when the characters act more like statuary than people.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Given that the characterizations and historical details can often be as sketchy as the film's soft-focus backgrounds and moral compass, The Eagle tepidly takes flight but fails to soar.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
Becomes absurd precisely when Channing Tatum marches onto the scene as a Roman army commander.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
The material here verges on camp, but director Kevin MacDonald has far loftier ambitions.
Chicago Reader
Michael Wilmington
Exciting and even moving, this robust epic is filled with action, male bonding, and a terrifying sense of wilderness.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Despite some breathtaking scenery and documentary-like realism, The Eagle ultimately falls to some surprising contrivances that seem written by focus groups.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
Less epic than Gladiator, less ridiculous than last year's Centurion, less homoerotic than Top Gun (but just barely), this is perfectly acceptable matinee fodder.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Romans speaking American-style gives it a sloppy, Cliff's notes flavor underscored by Tatum's very contemporary look and the attire of the Britons, animal skin jegging.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's a horrible way to go out, the murky and muddy moral waters that much of the plot waded through suddenly giving way to buddy flick heroics more appropriate to Lethal Weapon.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A muscularly entertaining adventure inspired by Rosemary Sutcliff's historical fiction The Eagle of the Ninth, hugely popular in middle schools in the mid-20th century.
