Blood, violence and half naked men (and women) with a message of patriotism, heroism and freedom. I think that about sums it up…

But it was good! I liked it. The choreography was awesome and the graphics breathtaking. The plot on the other hand was fairly thin. After all, it’s basically all a big fight scene with a bit of intro and an impressive ending.

Thing is, that is all it takes. I think we were all impressed by the way the Spartan’s fought against oppression and tyranny. There were cheers from around the audience when the big monster had it’s eye stung out by the broken spear, and the gasp was almost in unison as the spear glided through the air in slow motion towards the god-kings head. Not to mention all the sobs when the hero finally fell under the hail of the scarab-shaped arrows.

So, if you’re out for an evening of blood-gushing, hard-core and impressive entertainment, this is the movie for you. I give it a solid 5/6.
