I just watched in a few hours ago.. I admit I was a little slow

I hesitated going to watch it in the local cinemas due to our censorship board..

(which did make a mess of cutting out all the lovemaking scenes and thus making the movie's emotional + characterisation a little detached).

Yeah, its a brainless testosterone action ride all the way. But MAN it was one heckuva cool ride.

For the first time, it was like watching a 2 hour long kickass video game intro - the sort that you wish would go on forever, ah such gratifying violence

Definitely doesn't compare to the likes of Gladiator. But sure as hell beats both Troy and Alexander flat.

4 out of 5 stars for the excellent choreography + effects.

Ahaha.. okay.. I have to admit.. You're probably right

Minimal as it may have been, it would still have been SOMETHING. I didn't feel ANYTHING whatsoever throughout the show for the characters.. not even when the queen was spannared nor when Leonidas died.

But man, that queen is ONE HAWT queen nevertheless.

I think the Oracle part was a little too overdone though.

Will definitely be getting the DVD to catch what I've missed
