I thought this film would b just adequate, but actually I liked it! The story is nothing different, but its everything else that I liked. Firstly, none of the actors r famous and yet can act! Secondly, it was like Gladiator - in the way that it's quite powerful. Thirdly, its really artistic in the directing. The only negative I can say is that there is numurous scenes of extreme blood goshing! What did every1 else think about it?

loved it.visually its one of the most astonishing looking films i've ever seen like a real work of art.the violence was justified - it was set in violent times and war is never pretty.gerard butler was excellent, he's been under the radar for a long time but this film has shot him to the a-list and deservedly so!

I liked it too, though the sex/nudity scenes were out of place and not required.

Its all been done before, but it did look good.

Loved it fantastic battle scenes .made me shout out SPAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTTTAAAAA!!! on numerous occassions awesome!! brilliant!!!

pure battle @ its best bloodiest n most noble!

Watche dthe first 3- minutes and turned it off.
Awful movie, far too clever for its own good.

Basically the story of the battle of Thermopylae, but filmed in a way that is absolutely visually stunning and as far as I’m concerned a cinemagraphic masterpiece; although there was something about it that I found reminiscent of Fellini’s Satyricon, did anyone else feel that?

One thing I couldn't accuse this film of is being clever.

Gerard Butler did a really good job as leonidis, the battle scenes were great and I have no real gripes about it.

How can you made idiotic claims and comments like this when only watching the first 3 minutes?

It's not trying to be too clever, not sure where in the first 180 seconds you get this from.

It's a fun film and really well shot, it's not historically accurate, but it never tries to be.

Brilliant film, very watchable, very enjoyable and one of those you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy without having to think too much about.

I agree Dixieman get a life,

It is a fantastic film from start to finish.

I loved it; it's shot well, the music's good and i liked that some of the actions scenes were shot in slow motion (but i don't know the actual technical term for this, lol).
