Perhaps this movie would have been more entertaining for me if I enjoyed intense CGI usage, intense slow motion sex scenes and intense fake muscle guts.
Sure, I understand there are people who are really interested in this war history stuff – in fact, I find it quite interesting if I can have a bit of space to use my imagination a little.
But this film was far too intense for me.
So intense I found it boring.
Apart from one brief moment of what I found to be comic relief. Whether it was intended to be funny is another story.
It was when one of the small ugly creatures – if you’ve seen the film you will know what I mean – begged the king to allow him to fight. When the king rejected his plea, he let out a “damn you mum and dad” to the sky, shaking his fist at his parents for making him so ugly.
The really great part was when this little guy later went on to betray the king and team up with the baddies.
Perhaps it’s my Aussie “fight for the underdog” spirit coming out – but it was really lovely to see the poor little feller get the upper hand.

Didn't get to see it, but your review confirms what I already suspected. The graphics would be great, but the movie itself is wanting.
Great review, thanks for that.
hahaha yes very true of this movie- well written review- however i must admit i kinda liked the movie- if just for the historical content that may or may not be true!
I wasn't sure about this one, I'd heard mixed opinions. You're post saved me an $11 movie ticket.
