    Its not brainless entertainment considering the amount of work required to produce something with more quality than half the dross that flows out of Hollywood.

    It also requires you to be awake to understand whats going on.

    What's wrong with brainless entertainment? I'm not saying it's going to be, but sometimes guys needs to see some violent stuff to get their aggressions out. Like playing Quake or Unreal Tournament. Brainless, yet so much fun.

    You know what's brainless? All those crappy chick flick romantic-comedies Hollywood dumps on us all the time. I used to hate dating, because whenever I'd take a girl to a movie, I'd always concede to what she wanted to watch. Those movies stink for the most part, with a few exceptions. When the woman who is my wife told me she wanted to see the Matrix, I promptly dumped my ex-girlfriend and switched. Boy I'm glad I did.

    Thats the type of trailer that when you finish seeing it you want to work out and get strong. Like when i finish watching a new Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee movie i just want to get into a random fight and kick ass.... but i never do...:'(

    After a hard long day on the battlefield, you just wanna play some ball but some idiot wont let you because he has an explosive bag of pitchers' powder....

    Historically inaccurate.

    But it will be good.

    Dude... I don't think that anyone rode giant rhinos or that there were cyclops leading the battle charge back then in real life. This is a fantasy film loosely based on a historical event. It's definitely not accurate.

    That move is such an utter piece of garbage I get bleeding ulcers just from thinking about it.

    LOL you might want to put a smile after statements like this.

    Though it was funny after i knew it was a joke.

    It's not Historically accurate but it is entertaining none-the-less. It's like hearing a story from the local story teller as a kid. Those stories are a lot more entertaining!
