Glad to see I'm not the only one who wasn't swayed/brain washed by this film. Yes, the visuals are impressive, but man was this boring. I gotta agree with Joe on some of the spear montages.

The film could've been a solid 90 minutes. Ninety minutes of mindless, unadultered violence. I found no real point of connection with the story or even the visuals. There is a good film scattered in bits and pieces amongst this one. Granted I did find myself grinning at points throughout the film, but not enough to recommend the film to anyone.

I can admire what the film is technically, but that is about it. I found the extended cut of the trailer from the comicon footage to be far more enjoyable. Additionally, they should've just used that nine inch nails song throughout the entire film's battle sequences, or hired Trent to make an uber extended version of the track plus other music

Did anyone else notice how they lifted the choral theme from Julie Taymor's Titus and just added some vocals?

Did anyone else chuckle when the queen said, "Freedom isn't free...."? I wanted to yell out, "It costs a buck-oh-five!"

To each his own I suppose. It's not an oscar film so don't think I'm claiming it to be like "movie of the year" material. It's just a good time at the movies for people who enjoy bloody fight scenes, and it's certainly not a thinker's film. I love some of the twists and surprises and believe that the story was entertaining and served the on-screen action well. The arrows in this clip alone warrant a ticket purchase if you ask me.........

Bravo WB.

Too silly for me. I like Frank Miller (most of the time), and some of the visuals were great...I should have just listened to The Fragile on headphones.

A few dudes stab a lot of dudes. Then they do that again for 2 hours. It was awesome.

This is Peter Jackson without any control.

Read the comic. A lot shorter and the visuals are still spot on.

For me was so boring too. I mean yeah the vfxcore and what else??
i think is just a really flashy movie for comic fans.. but its a bit retarded they stab each other a bit too much.

i think vfx movies (Unless you are robert rodriguez) should be short. that is why Peter Jackson and his lord of the rings are so dammn boring too (ahahah..)
