Over hyped

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2007)

To me, the biggest disappointment is when you want to like something because everybody else likes it and then you catch yourself trying something for the sake of suggestion to the sub cons rather than being honest with yourself and say that you're just disappointed.
I seen this movie in two parts, one half one day and the rest the next day after and my thoughts on the movie is although I respect the Spartans for what they were about and what they fought for and also kicking much Persian tail, the story just didn't capture my heart.
Perhaps I'm too used to see Kirk Douglas or some other old timer play such movies but the story and attitudes are well, when you see one, you see them all.
One big negative for me is that despite all of Xerxes nasty creatures and killers, they proved no match for 300 Spartans and that's bad because I wanted to see rhino or a crazy freaky ghoul warrior maul at least one Spartan. The biggest negative however was that the whole movie was too CGI'd for me, and a movie that's supposed to be bloody wasn't bloody but digitalized so it was utter crap.
I'm glad I didn't actually spend money on this in the theater or by rental.
