Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2007)

Acting in this movie was sacrificed for six-packs. The reason people love this movie so much is because of some good action scenes. The acting was okay at best. I understand that the Persians were portrayed the way they were in an artistic method, but the way the Persian emperor was presented made me laugh rather than take the movie seriously. The movie probably would have been better if the emperor had been presented differently. The way characters were portrayed in the movie went a little overboard in some respects, which made the movie worse at least to me. The movie is definitely watchable at least once because of the action scenes, but I wouldn't waste my time watching it again.
