Don't believe the hype

Rating: 3/10 (2 April 2007)

I saw this movie yesterday and having had a night to sleep on it, I think I can give my honest impression. Although visually it is stunning, I was disappointed overall,and I'll confine myself to just a few comments about why I didn't like it.
1. Incredibly cheesy, tortuous dialogue.
2. Poor acting - but then again the poor buggers didn't have much to work with.
3. Zero character development which meant you didn't care that they died.
4. Yes, the battle scenes were good but once you've seen one slo-mo shot of an arm or leg being hacked off, you've seen 'em all.
5. Very slow in parts and too long overall.
If you don't see this, don't worry, you're not missing anything.
