a relentless and cheesy account of the spartan legend

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2007)

This film is a cross between troy and the latest video game. A mixture of cheesy dialogue and over the top graphic's make this into a non stop 2 hour rock video. yes, some of the scenes were quite cool but the use of CGI was taken to far. yes it was ground breaking as far as epics go but not in a good way. This genre needs to return to a grittier level. Troy was a disaster and were it not for Lena Headey so would this have been. The opening scenes of his exile in childhood are among the few good moments in this film. 300 is a comic book fan and teenage boys fantasy. But CGI should not make a film great film. A great film depends on many factors none more important than a good script. but whoever wrote this script had obviously watched Troy one to many times.
