Garbage

Rating: 5/10 (8 September 2007)

I had extremely high hopes for this film after seeing the trailer. It showed real promise and looked as though it might be better than Gladiator. God was I wrong.
The films script sounded to me like the work of a 8th grade student. The writing was pathetic. The emotional scenes didn't work at all and the wit failed every time it was unnecessarily injected into the movie. The music was out of place and easily forgettable.
To be honest, this film would have been much better with the mute button on.
I gave it a generous 4 out 10 for its action and decent visuals. Please watch The 300 Spartans (1962) instead of this new age drivel.
If, however you just want to see the kind of violence offered in Kill Bill Vol.1, and you do not appreciate clever film-making then I highly recommend 300.
