Pathetic

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2007)

This movie is quite possibly the worst movie that I have ever seen in my life. Do not get me wrong the action scenes were excellent and extremely bloody--the way I enjoy them. In addition the movie employed a neat perspective as it intertwined cool computer generated imagery in the battle scenes. I enjoyed the movie in the beginning. It had a little nudity and the building of a great story. My favorite scene had to be when the king of the Spartans pushed the messenger into the well in a battle cry "this is Sparta." However the movie concluded terribly meriting little applause or any of my approval. The movie shot for historical accuracy as the Spartans were defeated by the Persians, but the defeat was not glorious. In the climax of the story, the Spartans are surrounded by the Persians; however, this surrounding by the Persians is failed to be shown. At the very end, the king of Sparta throws a Spear at the Persian king and is killed along with his entire army. How could such a strong fighting group die in such an unceremonious way. For destroying a potentially amazing movie, I rate this movie a 0, if such rating could be given. I hope the director takes a lesson from Braveheart, The Patriot, and Gladiator and learns how to properly conclude a movie. Until then, good riddance.
