There is absolutely no character development or for that matter plot line...I love comics and thought Sin City was great but the only good thing about this is the visuals and fight scenes (however inaccurate) which weren't even that great. Here's the basic "plot", boy grows up goes and fights the Persian army, talks with people, fights more Persians, talks some more, eats an apple and then dies. That's not storytelling (in other words the basis of film-making) that's wasting money trying to make people grow physically sick from boredom and gain bruises from uncomfortable seats while sitting through an hour and a half of garbage...
Lena Headey's character having a huge influence over other characters was ignorant. She would have been butchered in reality. Not be the one who does the butchering.
I was so severely disappointed in the film I would have left if I wasn't surrounded by others in the theater.
If it's a cold wintery afternoon and you have nothing better to do go ahead and watch the movie.
