Title: Overkill...literally
Review: I admit, I really didn't care for this movie. It's based on a "graphic novel", which I know can be a legitimate literary form ("Road to Perdition" was excellent), but this is more like a comic book for grown-ups; all posturing, stiff dialogue ("We are SPARTANS!" Yeah, okay, I get it), cartoony gore, and a seemingly endless running time.I guess the director was aiming for something on a mythic scale, but it...just...didn't...work for me. Still, I know this movie has its fans. No accounting for taste, I guess.Rated R for gore, not nearly enough nude women to be interesting, and generally over-the-top everything.
