On the other hand, it has the proseltysing, poorly written and inorganic speeches which are trademarked of the same movies you're complaining about, and it has the shitiest action sequences I've ever seen. I never thought I'd be BORED by a bunch of guys killing large exotic animals in a fight.
I know it's a Frank Miller comic, and that the myth of the battle varies depending on the source you get it from, but I was merely referring to the style of movie. Guys in the past going into battle with swords and shields, with an occasional hot trophy wife making an appearance and looking concerned for her honourable man.

The whole style of story is just too cliched for me, right down to the mindless action.
