mythical

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2009)

I think a few people who reviewed this movie badly as racist, silly or inaccurate have got it wrong. It is not intended to be an actual account of what happened in the past, it has been told from the point of view of a survivor. He was creating a mythical account of a battle for his king to inspire others. A bit of a Shakespearean storyline was thrown in to fill the gaps between battle scenes. I do not think this movie set out to achieve anything more than portray a wicked mythical battle with men and some 'mythical' super creatures.
If they added realistic blood effects it would have been even better, but xxx I suppose.
