I did not go to the cinema expecting to see a historically accurate film, and I never let this fact bother me in the very least. I knew it was based on comic, and I thought I'd see a decent enough epic film. I am not hard to please when it comes to films, but honestly - I dont think I have seen such a bad directing before. Terrible overuse of slow motion sequences, some of the most awkward posing and set up regarding the actors, an absolutely pretentious use of colour and lighting, incredibly bad costume choices(uniform leather thongs - give me a break) resulting in multiple layers of kitsch.
There was undoubtedly some eye-candy: but it was stacked so sloppily together it ended up being unpleasant. Add to this mess some of the chessiest lines and concepts, and there you have it - I would call it a complete waste of time, but in such sense it is so bad it is almost worth seeing. Flying severed limbs in the battle scenes may even bring a good laugh - just as most of the dialogue does.
