Kill Bill Circa 480BC

Rating: 2/10 (13 September 2007)

If I had shelled out $10 to see this in the theater, I would have been mighty upset. As it was, I rented it and was simply sorely disappointed.
This movie is a video comic book, and as such is nothing close to historically accurate. Giant rhinos and elephants? Semi-humans and wolves with 3-inch fang-like teeth? Mega-hunchbacks? The sound of metal-on-metal constantly (a Hollywood obsession) even when it is absurdly impossible? Xerxes portrayed as some kind of gay demon. Come on now.
The excessive violence is presented as "fantasy" much like Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and other similar Hollywood tripe.
Since a lot of folks seem to have liked this movie, I guess we should brace ourselves for more like this. I guess I was just expecting something a little more realistic.
