Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2007)

I personally think this movie was made to GLORIFY how wonderful war is just so that George Bush can get his dollars to fatten his piggy bank. I was SLIGHTly irritated with the underlying Americanism and Bush's war propaganda. What with all the specific racial groups that were selected to be conveniently villainous, utterly evil, and easily detestable. Not to mention the constant re-emphasis of the NECESSITIES of war, that without it, liberty be lost, everyone would be slaves.
That having said, this movie can be enjoyed for its excitement, its action-packed fighting sequences. The best part of the movie was the honour and moving loyalty between the soldiers to each other even as they know they're advancing towards death. The sexy, ruthless, unpredictable wife of the King is also a nice addition. Just don't eat up the war propaganda it's feeding you.
