We're just back from it.

It's gorgeous. The look and feel is drawn directly from the graphic novel (a la Sin City). There are plenty of literal visual quotes. The battles are incredible. In large part it's extremely faithful to the original.

There's also this tacked on subplot of politics and intrigue back home in Sparta that, frankly, sucked. You could SO tell when the dialog was Miller and when it was Somebody Else. And, in a bizarre act of narrative suicide, the way that subplot got resolved eliminated the necessity of the ending of the main plot.

(Edit: When I say "tacked on", I mean "does not appear in the graphic novel".)
