Good movie, but...

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2007)

I had waited for over a year to see this film and I finally got to do that last night. well... amazing visual effects, cool monsters, not enough hot girls but the gore made up for that. Story wise it was pretty awful. Dialogue - probably the cheesiest I've heard this year. I pretty much got what I paid for but what was with all the homo-erotic crap. WHY WAS THE KING OF PERSIA SOOO GAY. It's fine to make an empire look bad but there is other ways of doing it. For the first hour and a half not a single Spartan dies. The Persian hordes keep attacking and falling for the Spartan little block and attack technique. I had no problem with the monsters because I understand that's how Frank Miller gets down but I definitely don't thing there was any need for all the homo-erotic content. I have nothing against gays, I have a lot friends who are gay but I don't see why the Spartans have to be all ripped and oiled up in their Speedos and for the king of Persia to be so gay and awkward. But then again maybe I'm not a real man. after all "only Spartan women give birth to real men".
