What A Disappointment !!!

Rating: 4/10 (17 August 2006)

Out of the entire epic and the historical movies, this is got to be the most commercial one of all. And after watching it --- I'm extremely disappointed with it.
First of all, I think the movie has been done very commercially and cast whole loads of misfit actors for the role as the selling point. None of the actors even have the look of the historic people.
The movie also has very bad dialogs, which sound extremely strange when listen to. And the whole loads of scene are just too cinematic for action movie lover about hero is untouchable. Plus it is a very inaccurate history epic. A really bad research of a scramble storyline written into a screenplay.
I think the movie is overdone with the little knowledge of the history and research -- making this movie look very modernize and really abrupt and somewhat incomplete. All the good actors turn into bad (except  Eric Bana) and the whole action hero scenes is just a waste of time.
Only good thing about this movie is the Battles Scenes which has been crafted and directed beautifully. But in the end not that convincing cause i sense too much fusion between the new and old technique of everything from screenplay to modern day dialogs to the the slow motion action sequences like in the Matrix.
Recommendation: Overall It Didn't Work Out Well and I'm Very Unhappy With It.
