Entertaining at best.

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2007)

Amazing visuals and awesome action aren't enough to make a good movie. This movie by no means was a good movie. It was highly entertaining and fun to watch, but honestly, i would rather watch the trailer 10 times in a row then go watch the movie again in the theater. Actually if they put the trailer in the theaters as its own feature, that would be some thing i would pay a dollar to watch. The trailer basically had all the greatest parts of the movie, only it was edited better to much better music.
My main issues with this movie have to do with the dialog and soundtrack (or lack of). Basically all of the dialog was stale except the bits they used in the trailer, and since you had already heard those 400 times, only with far more exciting music in the background, they had almost no effect on you while watching the movie. As far as music, I don't even remember any of the music during the movie except for one exciting moment right before the Spartans were going to kick some ass. Even after they started fighting though it seems as though, in my memory, the music disappeared.
Any way, enough of the bad.
Visual the movie was actually very stunning, and had lots of very nice looking moments. The action was was pretty awesome in general, but nothing new or groundbreaking as far as fighting scenes go.
I'm done rambling. Entertaining, but nothing amazing. Won't see again for a while although i will still watch the trailer every now and then.
6 out of 10 (almost 7)
