Worth every blood soaked penny

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2007)

OK, OK, yes the film wasn't historically accurate. Yes it had a few scenes less than pleasing to those people who just want to sit there and poo-poo every film that has a racist character(s). Had a few scenes of humanity at its worst but really this film cuts through all the political correctness and gets straight to the muddy-bloody point. Delivering you all the adrenaline induced violence you will ever need in a film and giving you a less than orthodox brief into the world of Sparta and all its glory. I even went to go see this bad boy of a film for a first date heh, I still have no idea why its a 15, but what the hey, more for the younger generation. So without going into any real depthn and this being my first comment Iv got to say out of the.. 500 movies I have seen this would be the finest of its genre.. So please see this film, and heads up on the first action scene, no matter what your age, orientation or culture you will burst out the word awesome! And well.. No doubt choke on popcorn.. Totally worth it though.. Heh.
