inspired by the comic-novel by alan moore, this movie depicts a historical and mythical episode of ancient history. centered around the themes of identity, pride, honour, courage and fighting for your own people.
the cinematographic style of zack snyder is perplexing: it's fast, it's furious, it's very detailed, it's overwhelming. it's the modern technology touch added to historical facts. you need a second view to become aware of everything that's in it, as well about the story as about the visuals.

anyone who tells you not to waste your money or time on this film is deluded...

its AWESOME!!!

An absolutely apalling film. An overrated, cheaply made, poorly scripted, pathetic excuse for a film. Do everybody a favour and don't waste your money. Save your fiver and use it productively. I paid to see this at the cinema and wish I hadn't.
