Visually interesting, waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (24 March 2007)

What left to say about what appears to be the decade's blockbuster of this week?. As for me, it's historically inaccurate - an Spartan, by definition, can't fight for freedom and for Greece neither, since none of these concepts did exist at the time -; doesn't show a cast of characters deeply conceived and convincing and the battles are are sickening and everlasting to say the least. Anyway, it's an all-tech movie, shot basically on green or blue backgrounds and just spectacular... in the way "Twister", "Dante's Peak" or "Volcano" did have its time due to visual effects. In my humble and poor opinion - didn't read the comic - a movie to be forgotten.
