Barely OK 2.0
The fantasy infused movie about ancient history did not do it for me. I’m always entertained by ancient-time war movies — but the surreal landscaping, fantasy-creatures, and annoying deep cry of “Spartans!” all throughout the film was a turn-off.

Thank you for the kind words. I’ll be honest, though, I wasn’t too sure of the movie at first for much the same reasons. I thought it was visually excellent, but it was a departure from the comic and I was a huge fan of the comic from day one. The comic was not anywhere near as polished or pretty. It was very rough and brutal. A lot of the same story elements were there, but the look was much, much different. But the more I thought about it and after the second viewing things fell into place and felt much better for me. Now its got to be one of my favorites out there. |

Wow. Great review Spaceghost! You make such a passionate and well argued case for the movie’s perfection that I was left wondering why the Trust Weighted Score was only a Good. So I went browsing through the reviews and it turns out I’m part of the reason. (Oops, “I’ve met the enemy, and it is me.”) So now I want to see the movie again, perhaps to raise the rating upon second viewing. |
