Overanalyzed

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2008)

There are so many people that want to put this film down, but in the end there are more people who like it than the people who don't.
Thus, this tells us that the majority of human beings liked this film and with good reason.
I personally like the use of the slow motion, it gave more depth to the objects that were being portrayed in the film. (some people apparently don't like it at all), the worst part is they try to convince others that it is bad...... which is utterly wrong, becomes ultimately it comes down to TASTE/PREFERENCE.
The acting was good(again some people think its ******) but honestly, for me that is how a spartan is supposed to act in my imagination.
The dialogue they say is cheesy, and yes perhaps but it is cheesy with meaning, it is clichés that work and fits well with the film.
Cinematography and visual effects cannot be done better. People tend to agree with me on this one.
There is a weak plot and character development, and I agree with this point, but its that good that it doesn't need a plot or character development and still it worked for me. Perhaps the people who always need to have crazy plots and philosophies in films shouldn't watch this film because they will not genuinely understand the nature of this film and its goal and be irritated with what they expect. GOSH THIS FILM IS NOT TARKOVSKY OR ERICE! After all this said if this film suits your imagination than it will be good to watch, if not then you will hate it to death.
But still the whole film is simple and neatly done.
Its not supposed to be historically accurate, its a FILM for god sake that follows a comic book.
I believe that people who really hate this film think they are smart film viewers or critics who think they know a little about movies and films in general. I say you cannot compare apples with oranges, and I say this apple was a darn good one.
