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!"
