A little disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2007)

After its raving reviews especially from the IMDb site, i was looking forward to seeing this movie. But for once, i'm gonna have to agree with the paper's about this film, many of which weren't overwhelmed.
I didn't quite see where the fuss was coming from. It was a good film, it was worth the admission, but it is not worthy of an 8/10 here. The film did escape to some extent, after a few battle sequences, i feared the film may become a computer game, where the army sent down different challenges with every level, however, the film wasn't that long so avoiding that wasn't too much of a challenge. Typical of recent films similar to it, it relied heavily upon blood and graphic battle scenes, but as expected, sex and a lot of flesh bearing men. To be honest, this doesn't appeal to me. For a film to receive 8/10 i'd expect more in the story, some scenes to remember, and something a little original. I can't remember one great scene.
It just never reached the heights for me, but i'm one of few, i wouldn't suggest against you going to see it, especially if you're female.
