This is only commercial trash... and maybe... propaganda

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2007)

I think this movie is a less than mediocre commercial film. OK, the graphic effects are good, and the action is not bad, but all the plot is good only for the silly macho-men without an instruction.. (It is a good example of these the scene in which the more cultured Athenians are derided by Spartans because of their warmongerness) I have seen an exaggerate and aberrant division between Good and Evil, where arrogance, fine appearance, absence of pity and mercy, etc. = Good, physical deformity, colored skin = Evil And the separation between good and evil is totally stereotyped. There's no human complexity in the characters: Spartans are all fearless, incorruptible and first of all... have prominent abdominal. Their enemies must be at least: deform, ambiguous, subhuman or perverted. All here is radical and fanatic... it makes me think to some Right's propaganda.
