I too enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.

Nice to see Beate and OH. I thought I saw pxc but wasn't 100% as I've only met her once, but Beate confirmed afterwards that she was there! Apparently loads of FMUKers were there last night!

Decent hokum, competently executed. But ... (spoilers)

If the green zombies weren't created by Rhesus, where did they come from?
Why was Cotys apparently prepared to sacrifice half his army to the green zombies?
Why did Rhesus disappear from the narrative after his rousing speech? Hercules clearly admired him, and he could have made an excellent ally.
Why was everyone being so negative to Rhesus?
Where was Xena?

Braveheart meets 300?

Possibly the worst role I've seen Peter Mullan cast in :(

I didn't think they were zombies, just a tribe?

They died after all. ;)

The army seemed to be larger 'after' it had been depleted.

I liked the Rhesus negative comment, bloody brilliant. :D

Saw this last night in Glasgow and like many others enjoyed it more than I thought. However, it was much more violent than I was expecting for a 12A.
Enjoyable and funny too.
7/10 from me.

Thanks. Good point about the army size. And what happened to the centaurs?

Ian McShane was the best part of the film. Predictable fare. Not terrible, not great, a few laughs.

5/10

Henry Fitzherbert in the Daily Excess says there were centaurs:
