FOR SPARTA, and no one else

Rating: 1/10 (9 March 2007)

Rating this film a 6 out of a 10 seemed correct. The commercials looked amazing, and Sin City was great. So naturally, i wanted to see this the day it came out, and i did. WORTH SEEING, but not worth buying. I am a huge film fan and this isn't going to be one of those remembered films in 30 years. Aside from being Quite historically inaccurate on the spartan's side, it was 100% one-sided for sparta (which makes since since it is about them). The narration got very annoying to me, and i almost left at the first 30 mins. The direction was very very great, and casting was well. Acting was very very poor. I know that in war films, usually actors are not dramatic and such, but they tried to be way more dramatic in a few of the short speeches than they should have tried, because certain actors can only act so hard i guess. Rating this below a 6 would be a terrible idea, but above a 6 just isn't that great. If you watch this film 2x it might not even get a 6. So in the end, WORTH SEEING, BUT Don't KEEP UP HIGH EXPECTATIONS.
