Great CGI. Terrible Mess of a Film

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2008)

I wish to start out by saying the only reason I have given it a 2 is because of the CGI in the movie and the fact that one is the worst.
You would have to have very poor taste to like this mess. Seriously the worst direction I've ever seen. If the film makers had of recognised how pathetic the story they were presenting was they would have come to the conclusion that they should have just done the whole movie as one lame battle scene.
This film continually went back to the story of his wife back in Sparta, who you can't be bothered to care about, and who is always displayed at the stupidest points through out the movie. This just proves the dreadful state of the plot, not to mention it's inaccuracies. I am aware that the filmmakers have said they did it sensationalized it so it can be as the Greek story tellers would have remembered it. So why not put a warning like that in the actual film so the audience who are not braindead, who would be able to tell how inaccurate it is with no knowledge of Spartan life at all, could see what the film makers were trying to do.
Maybe I'm expecting too much from this film. However to me it's nothing more then an example of good CGI. Even though it was good what a waste of a movie. OOOOO they've put fighting in super slow-mo! SO?
