Great film however not as great as they say

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2007)

Firstly this movie is really good, is it an epic no way, so what is it. Well it is a great action movie basically. Why the director bothered with the political intrigue side story is beyond me as it was both unnecessary and unneeded.
The action and fight sequences in this movie are unbelievable, however this movie is very lacking in the plot area, you learn little of king leonidas or his spartans only that they can fight and die really really well.
So if you are looking for a great movie you really need to see this movie if your looking for a great movie with a great story and in depth characters then you may need to lower your expectations slightly.
Has some great one liners in here and places that make you want to jump up and yell "take that".
I really liked this movie but mainly for the action sequences.
