Spartans rule

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2007)

The Spartans where said to descend from Hercules himself and they sure do prove it in this movie. This is no way a history lesson so you missed the point if you thought this is going to teach you anything (hunchbacks, goat men = ding dong bell). It doesn't except from the general idea that a small army of Spartans (+a group of other armies not mentioned in this movie) tried their best to slow down the Persians, allowing the rest of Greece to prepare its fighters. I have not read the comic book but I wasn't expected to be disappointed by Frank Miller's universe after Sin City. Good cinematography, maybe too much slow motion effects but nonetheless entertaining.
**** out of ****
