Not up to the mark

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 2007)

After seen the trailers I was dying to see the movie. I guessed that this movie would topple "troy" and "the gladiator". However, it did not take me long to realize that sometimes trailers deceive the audience. First of all, there is something wrong with the pace of the movie. It looks as if many scenes have been cut! Some parts does not connect well. (especially those parts which shows different stages of the war on the pass, elephants, rhino, etc.) I think the movie should have been some 30 minutes longer. Secondly, narrations and dialogs are awfully bad. There are only couple of one liners that remain in your mind. (Spartans, tonight we dine in hell!). The final is also very weak. I expected some more one to one fighting at least before Leonidas dies. He died too easily!! Overall, the movie has many weak points which put 300 even behind "troy"! Do not fall for the trailers! Do not come to the hall with great expectations!
