Completely entertaining and worth every second spent watching.

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2011)

This was a thoroughly entertaining movie with great cinematography. There were no dead spots throughout the entire movie, and the action was just enough without overdoing (which so many movies are guilty of in my opinion).
The characters were well developed, the casting was well done, and the acting was quite good.
The mysticism in the movie played to my sense of wonder, and the movie played well on ancient myths.
Producing a movie that takes us back to a time when Persia was dominant and a huge empire in the middle east during this time of current unrest in the same region was a good reminder of a nobler time.
I will watch it again, and again.
