Fucking dreadful. That was the worst film i've ever paid money to see.
Politics? I doubt it's smart enough for that. There's plenty of cheesy, cliche'd sentiment but
ZERO substance in any area. Of course it's historically inaccurate but that's not really what bothers me - it's just trivial nonesense for people who
WISH they were as macho as the vacant, deluded heavyweight characters who happily choose war over peace all in the name of 'honour'.
Are we supposed to
amire them?? It's a stupid, homoerotic mess with no real story and no reason to exist - it just goes through the motions using every Lord of the Rings cliche available. This film did not deserve the publicity the Iranians gave it.
Oh, and visually it looked stupid. It didn't feel like a comic book in the way Sin City did. It was going for style over substance, which is bad, but it didn't even pull off the style. The architypal Hollywood special effects blockbuster.
