Really good, but overrated

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2007)

PROS: Great action, great style, mostly decent special effects (apart from the wolf and a few other shoddy effects), and the actor that played Leonidas was very good.
CONS: No real story, superficial characterization, generally terrible acting (especially on the part of the Keira Knightly look-alike that played the queen).
And another thing, why is it that everyone in these types of movies has an English accent when it just simply doesn't apply? The Spartans were GREEKS. True, this film was based on a graphic novel and obviously it requires some suspension of disbelief, but it's a clichÃ© that is just too glaring to overlook.
Overall, it's a really good movie, but there is no way that it deserves a spot in the top 200. It wasn't even as good as Sin City.
