Awful

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2008)

This is perhaps one of the worst films I have ever seen. Some of the action is pretty sweet as well as a couple of scenes. Otherwise, the movie is exceptionally biased and insulting. The plot hardly develops and even the Greeks are portrayed as power-hungry villains, not to mention the Persians that all look like ugly monsters. Overall, the movie portrayed everyone terribly, had the worst development, and only made up for the torture of seeing it with a few good action scenes. Oh yeah, it was RIDICULOUSLY unrealistic too. Moreover, the Persian King, Xerxes, is almost hilarious in the absurd presentation of him; his deep voice is hilarious too. The real story hardly occurred that way, and the movie is probably the worst historical movie ever, especially considering it was historical fiction. Now, I don't think that Hollywood should refrain from portraying anyone the way it wants to, but this film was way over the line, stupid, and barely entertaining.
