Best film I've seen in a long time.....Killjoys hate it!

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2007)

Interesting that the critics have panned this one, my local paper refuses to even rate it - apparently it's politically incorrect! Killjoys! It's a film, get over yourselves! Saw it today and was blown away. I haven't been on the edge of my seat like that for some time. This film has it all - tragedy, heroism, love, sex, betrayal, and more action than your going to believe - what more do you want! Some people have become 'upset' apparently at the portrayal of Sparta (though it's a comic book adaption, it is of course a fantasy adaption of the real Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC) - but the Sparta the film is based on is historical fact, that's how it was idiots! At the real battle about 7,000 Greeks (with King Leonidas's 300 Spartan bodyguards way up at the front of a very narrow pass) faced down King Xerxes I's Persians - the biggest army ever seen in the classical world - estimates range from 150,000 to possibly half a million. If that isn't worth making films about what is? See it, believe it!
