It’s “Sin City” meets “Troy” meets “Kill Bill” meets “Lord of the Rings” as another Frank Miller graphic novel hits the big screen. The classic story of the bold Spartan battle against the invading Persian army is retold with great style and impact. Learn what it means to grow up Spartan. This inspirational tale tells us about courage, camaraderie, and what is worth fighting for: liberty, justice, and hope. The graphic novel look is captured in the artistry and the slow-mo stop action hand-to-hand combat scenes which draw the audience right into the battle standing toe-to-toe with the Spartans. Clad in little more than a helmet and a cape accents the abs and pecs of the sword and shield wielding warriors. There is lots of blood and gore, plenty of great action, and a little nudity as so few are pitted against so many. The film is peppered with many memorable lines and speeches like “no surrender, no retreat”. The audience was mesmerized. This one maybe worth seeing again, but next time at the IMAX.
Alien gives it 3 ½ “blood drunk” stars out of 4.
