Laughable

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2007)

I was enticed by these trailers and posters, promising what looked like extremely realistic combat and a historically accurate storyline. Upon entering the movie, however, I was terrified with what I saw. First off, the colors were all wrong. Although there were no cameras in the time of Sparta, I highly doubt that life looked so saturated and bronze. Also, I don't think all of the men could have been so unbelievable ripped, in times before inventions like the Bowflex. The scene depicting the child fighting the wolf, also highly unbelievable. How could a 7 year old look so old?!? And survive in the snow for a long time in just a diaper. Plus, I don't think that wolves' eyes actually can glow...
My next beef was when Leonidas kicked the messenger into the whole. Holes, no matter how deep they may be, have an end. These messengers appeared to fall for an eternity...what must have been miles deep. BS. by now I was getting extremely heated at the inaccuracy of this movie, but this was only the beginning.
The combat was so unbelievable! The warriors moved in and out of slow motion, almost at will. They killed thousands of ninjas. Did Persia take over Japan? I Don't THINK SO! also, what the hell was the guy with the saws for arms. you cant do that.
Over all, I was severely disappointed. I've heard that this movie was based on a comic book, which was based on a movie from the 60s, which was based on a tale told for thousands of years by word of mouth, but that is no excuse for the details of the movie to arrive so... Inaccurate 0/10.
awful.
just fighting (UNREALISTICALLY I MIGHT ADD) no historical accuracy! I demand all movies based on things that happened in the past to not sway from the actual event at all, or people might actually believe that Spartans are capable of controlling time.
