What has the world come to?

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2007)

Now I myself am not one of these great movie critics, I do not possess the needed level of articulate language and omnipotent attitude to comment and find flaws with every film ever made. However, when i see people rating this film a 3.... my spartan gods that is just plain wrong. This film at worst is an 8 and that can only be due to the fact that they couldn't make it any longer. The casting I myself cannot find a fault with after reading the graphic novel. Gerard Butler as Leonidas displays the fury of a spartan king and carries the role better than anyone putting the needed emphasis behind tag-lines to give the surge of excitement following "Imortals? We'll put their name to the test!" and any other intense line he delivers with umph. The casting of Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes again is superb as he displays the stoniness and power of his character just by standing atop his throne. It gravely saddens me to see how feminine the world is becoming seeing people rating this so poorly and I only use that word for lack of a better. So when compared to other films it is my strong belief that no-one will care who Spartacus is anymore because thanks to this new standard.... THIS IS SPARTA
