And since when were cheesy films a bad thing?!

Totaly...thats what i love about it! Its told as a story through the eye (haha) of a survivor to other Spartans, therefore the events accounted are embelished and overthetop...but it makes a great film. And yeah totaly, its sooo true to the comic. By far this is my personal favorite film of the last few years but i definetly see how it will not appeal to all film goers.
All that said and done...cant wait for Spiderman 3...fucking Venom...yaaaas!
