I couldn't resist this movie, it looked kick ass, and I knew from the time that I downloaded the trailer on my PS3 that I would see it. I didn't get to see it opening weekend, but that was by choice, my son was coming down the following weekend and I wanted to see it with him.
Overall the plot was good, the storyline was great, and the acting was OK. I would have to say that it's a must see movie for most.
I personally was a little disappointed, and walked out thinking that it was a little over the top. Overall I have to say that the director should have cut out the blood spraying everywhere. They did a bad job using CGI to throw the blood, then they put it in slow motion to make it even worse.
It's one thing to have a gory movie with body parts everywhere, but this one takes it to the extreme with walls of bodies, blood everywhere and one-liners trying to make lite of it all.
The ending left ton's to be desired, the Spartans just laid down and died without a fight. How disappointing is that.
This is one to add to your collection when it's released, but keep it away from the younger kids, and don't watch it before dinner unless you are wanting to use it to help your diet.
