God, i thought the visual were amazing!
I agree with MM though, but I think that it's more meant for the art, than the plot....
I'd have to say my most memorable bit was
in the first battle scene, where he whacks the guy in the air and slices his leg off 
I thought the animals were cool though
Did everyone get the ending though - why the Sparta King guy didn't
kill Xerxes? And only cut him? Yeah?
