Negative Positive
Title: I wasn't exactly disappointed but I expected more ....
Review: The visuals are excellent. I'll give it that. But story arc is absent. The main character - Leonidas - is the same throughout. Whereas, Maximus in Gladiator, for example, goes through changes, Leonidas does not. There's fighting, there's more fighting, and still more fighting. Which doesn't give the viewer any opportunity for emotional involvement. Or watching the character develop as the story progresses. The characters are flat and one-dimensional and that is my biggest complaint. But the visuals will blow you away.
