Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2006)

watched this movie over the weekend. the special effects were very good, the film is very violent in places. the general part of the film that that i found disappointing is this - why are the entire cast speaking with an irish accent when they are all supposed to be Greek. I know the film is made for the American market and that any non American accent is acceptable for that market, given that all English accents sound the same to them and especially after Dick Van Dykes sorry effort in Mary Poppins. You would think that with such a vast budget, they could run an English speaking Greek speech tutor. The film was however enjoyable after one had got used to the accent and historically, i guess that it was true to the story.
