And by ****ing rules he means it has very little story, action that is good but doesn't live up to hype (you've basically seen the best parts in the previews aside from maybe 2 or 3 others), an insane amount of cheesy one-liners (some even one after the other), so much slow mo and decapitations (and slow mo decapitations) that it becomes dull. The fact that the main actor has an irish accent which he doesn't even try to hide is also annoying, although I must say Rodrigo Santoro acted as Xerxes pretty damn well.

It was also borderline pornographic. That doesn't make it a good movie. :|
