    A Mixed Bag
    Very much of a curate's egg here - epic production, very good CGI, very tough battle scenes, very cool period piece. But at the same time, very many typical modern clichés, as well as very trite dialog lines as well as some very predictable plot twists. Several times, the film was bordering between a very blatant parody and a very brutal war drama. This has made it a very mixed bag and therefore produced a rather sour aftertaste...
