Not the best, but not too bad

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2007)

My husband and I just saw this film today. It wasn't the greatest film ever made by any means, but it was much better than others made of similar subject matter (King Arthur, anyone?). The actors all did a wonderful job, the film moved well, and the scenery was first-rate. However, it was a bit predictable. There were very few moves that I didn't see coming a mile away. Now, I didn't see the senator character's actions, but the rest...Even though I liked the female warrior character, she wasn't exactly unexpected. I don't think I'd see it again, or own it on DVD, but I didn't feel my time was wasted. Since there wasn't any graphic violence, kids could even go (maybe over 9 or 10). It's not real history, but it's a starting point for discussion.
