Movie Review by B Movie Ben
March 10th, 2007

Made for the big screen

I kick myself frequently for missing Frank Miller's Sin City on the big
screen. I wish they would bring films like that back occasionally.

Well, I wasn't going to miss this one and I am glad I didn't. It was a
beautiful and impressive film. It was no Sin City, but it was an
enjoyable way to spend two hours on a Saturday morning.

One is tempted to start reading something into the film. Maybe an
allegory about freedom fighters sacrificing their lives against an
imperialist machine with their coalition of the bought and paid for and
impressive and fearsome weapons, but I will not get drawn into that. I
will say that the story of the Spartans at Thermopylae was as exciting
as the story of William Wallace in Braveheart.

The scenes with the Oracle were stunning and sensuous and one wants to
see more of Kelly Craig. The dialog was typical Hoo Rah and seriously
detracted from my enjoyment. I really didn't think the blood and gore
was anything you wouldn't find in a video game rated M. It was
certainly a lot less than Saving Private Ryan.

All-in-all a good film and nothing that teens couldn't see. It was
really a PG13.
