just got in from this. pretty bad. i went in with zero expectations hoping for thin plot and sweet battles and fighting.

plot was LOL bad. the whole thing with the politics was completely terrible. so bad.

the movie could only been more homoerotic if they all started blowing each other.

music awful. dialogue awful. speeches so bad. didn't use enough monsters. none of the battles or fights were particularly cool. repetitive. the whole thing with the hunchback was retarded.

no good use of any of the creatures really. should have been a ton more.

3.5/10 and i went in with low expectations. edited down into 25 minutes it could probably be a 7.5/10.

the haters on here amuse me. If you want to enjoy real cinema, then go watch 'Namesake' or whatever the [censored] is out. Otherwise, if you're a guy and you enjoy action I don't know how you can NOT enjoy this movie. According to polls or whatever, even the women enjoyed it as well. It was light on the emotional resonance, but I still admired how badass the Spartans were. This was a pure battle flick and battles usually take days. So of course it's going to take up the majority of the damn film. This was just a cool film that no one's seen before. If they had made it as any traditional epic, it would've just flopped like Alexander, King Arthur, and all other recent epics.
