Enjoyable, not historical

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2007)

I was expecting slightly more than what I got, but overall I really enjoyed it as a movie. Being very interested in Spartan history I would have liked to see a deeper insight into Spartan society than what it contained.
I've read a couple of user reviews who relate this to the war at the moment and I really can't see the connection. I don't think it has the intention of glorifying anything to do with current events and if it did it definitely didn't achieve this on me. I mean, of course you can draw similarities, it's a film depiciting war, but I think any 'obvious' similarities you pick are pure coincidence and are generally apparent in all wars.
It is revolutionary with it's graphics, if you enjoy a bit of visual stimulation I definitely recommend it. If you don't like gore stay away.
It's another good Frank Miller adaption.
