Visually captivating !!

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2009)

The movie was everything i was expecting and more! I was thinking it will be a movie of triumph over the odds and the like, but i was surprised at the other aspects of the story as well. Another great feature was the way the movie was to the eye. It was very much a story told in a dream-like fashion.
This is the way mythology should be shown. Another thing I liked was the presence of Lena Headey as Queen Gorgo and David Wenham as Dilios. They both had a command over their respective roles and this enhanced the movie experience and took it to a new level. It felt that one could feel what they were feeling.
Another great feature was the catchy dialogs. I am sure everyone has heard "This is Sparta" and "Tonight we dine in hell", not only them but also the dialogs leading up to these catch phrases were pretty good. But some were a little cheesy.
It is the kind of movie you can watch again and again and still never get bored.
Catch it !!
