In another, the droplets fall and stick out of the ground like arrows. This is a stylistic choice to reflect the 'graphic novel' origins of the film. Quotes Messenger : Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas.

This film isn't for all people. That's to say about a lot of movies in general of course, but this one in particular brings up a big clashing point between critics; What do we want to see in our movies? What is more important, to portray a fictional setting for the sake of giving people a mind blowing visual experience or to amuse and amaze them with clever plot twists and intelligent dialogs?
First lets analyze what exactly this film is made of. Basically, the whole thing is just one epic fighting scene after another. Most noticeably is the camera work and the visual effects.
Every shot seems like it was intended to be a work of art. The colors, the characters, the costumes, the backgrounds During the big fights you'll also instantly notice the unique editing.
There are a lot of "time slowdowns" throughout the battles which show what exactly is happening. Fatal wounds that slowly leak blood spatters in the air, decapitated heads traveling in slow-motion across the screen The story on the other hand isn't very complicated, in the sense that the whole movie could probably be described in a sentence or two. The dialogs are simple and most often talk about moral values like freedom and honor.
If you would look at the script, it would probably look like another movie that has nothing more to offer then idealistic visions of how life should be. Reviewers of this title seem to be split up in two groups. I feel reluctant to take a position in this argument. Normally it's tolerable to weigh out both sides of this matter to result in a fair judgment about a movie. Not in this one. On the one hand the visual are surely among the best to be witnessed in a movie.
Every detail, every background, every special effect set to the scenes are so mindblowingly stunning. On the other hand the plot and dialogs are of the most simplistic and quite frankly dumb kind. I'd rather die in honor then live in shame! Of course it could be debated that this movie was never intended in the first place to have a unique plot that makes your head spin.
But from an objective point of view it's still lacking in this department, so it should be noted. Now that's fine and all, but does that all make of the film? Is it worth watching or what? I think it is. For me the good outweighs the bad by miles. From the second the movie started it grabbed me and didn't let go. Every battle, every scene of the movie had me at the tip of my chair. Everything from the strong acting to the wondrous visuals to the war-shouts of the soldiers was just so stunning I did not one single moment felt like the movie lacked anything.
But I could imagine why other people did. So here's the deal. If you are easily impressed by beautiful landscapes, wonderful camera-work and editing and powerful acting then go see this.
You'll be missing out if you don't. There is so much to see, so much power in the way this comic is translated to the big screen It'll leave you in awe. However, you are looking for a good story, clever plot twists, some innovating to the world of the movies then skip this.
I enjoyed this movie so much, but I know there will be people that will pass of as rubbish, and that's understandable. Just be sure to make up your mind about what you want to see when you go to the theater yourself instead of being drawn into bias by the tons of reviews this site has to offer. FAQ What is '' about?

The great historian Herodotus, possibly exaggerating, states that there were 1,, Persians their true number could have been anywhere from , to 1,, against 7, Hellenic hoplites and slaves, including the men of the Spartan King elite guard.
King Xerxes waited four days for the Hellenes to be frightened and eventually surrender and was quite astonished by his opponents' complete apathy.
Xerxes tried to convince Leonidas to drop weapons, give up his position, kneel before him and live on as a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas replied "molon lave," which means "Come and get them. The whole Persian campaign would have failed if it hadn't been for Efialtes, who showed Xerxes a secret passage to the Hellenic flanks.
After a final battle led by King Xerxes himself, the Hellenic force was slain and their heroism and glory was written forever in history.
From the beginning of the battle, the Hellenes buried their dead in the spot where they fell. Then battle signs where made for the dead of each Hellenic faction.
For the Pelloponisians, including the Spartans the sign generally read free translation "In this place 4, Pelloponisians fought 30 millions. The impact of the battle was enormous for both sides. The Persians' morale dropped to zero, and the Hellenes lost their fear for the Persian conqueror and organized their defense. After several successful battles, the Hellenes ultimately defeated the Persian army and repelled their invasion in the Battle of Plataea in BC.
Prepare for glory! Thirsty for Spartan blood! This is where we fight, this is where they die!! What does it mean to turn one of the great graphic novels of our time into a major motion picture?
