Lord of the Rings or Braveheart seemed for me to have better scenery when filming at a location closely resembling the story location. The use of the big monster type creatures I thought was a bit much too for a movie based on an actual battle.

But the rest of the movie, I loved, the fight scenes and the way it was narrated by David Wenham was great. It seems as though there should be a sequal too, after you see what happens at the end
Actually half the time the ripped guys in the movie, looked like they were wearing bodysuits or something.

I saw it with a friend last week and thought it was pretty good. She loved the visuals, even if the lack of any kind of historical accuracy bothered her (she's studying history at uni).
I was expecting it to be really gorey, but I didn't think it was that bad.
I laughed at a few parts.

My only disapointment was that I watched it on dvd rather than seeing it at the cinema :(

It was an absolute sweet movie though, I can see why people might not be into it but for me it was the right movie

A good movie but overall I was disapointed.
None the less a good movie.
