I thought it was excellent. It was set up as a rallying tale told to troops before going into battle and the visuals and the style of the movie really appealed to me.

Being a quarter Greek and all, I'm glad this kind of story can be told now with the advances in filmmaking recently and it won't look like something out of the '70's. Oh, and the actress who plays Gorgo, Lena Headey, is fine as a muh fucka!

What an amazing movie Absolutely loved it - was a little abstract but still very tastefully handled from a historic point of view. Saw it with my wife - she did find it a bit too graphical in places, so beware - if you thought Kill Bill was too much, dont watch this one!

To me it reminded me of how movies once were - it felt anything but mainstream anno 2007 Probably sounds strange, but that is the biggest compliment in my book to a movie. No 'Meet the fockers' in this one.

Could rave on - but no ... Go watch it!

I saw it over the weekend on Imax - and I actually liked it even though it's not my type of flick. Ravenheart's description of "...anything but mainstream anno 2007..." is right on - I really felt like a kid again watching a cool movie. Tons and tons of blood, but it looked very computer-generated which took some of the gruesomeness out of it, IMO....

I saw it last Fri night and thought it was pretty decent. I couldn't find anything terribly wrong with it, and the blood/gore was plenty but at the same time, not terribly overdone like some movies.
