HAHAHAHAHA

Brian Prisco:

Again, if Marcus and Esca started to fall for each other -- a fiery hate turns into a passionate love -- the motivations of the film would have made total sense and would have been a much braver and more intelligent movie. Instead, it grunts and heaves like a chain of fraternity brothers elephant walking, whispering into the shoulder of the naked man whose penis he's grasping that it's totally not gay, it's about brotherhood and honor and tradition. The Spartans buttfucked each other and weren't nearly as bromosexual as these two fellas.

Prisco is a little harsh on the acting. But only a little. Channing Tatum had more than three faces in that movie: "sad face, angry face, and empty face." He also had wanna-get-into-Esca's-braccae face. Because he'll be your little slut any day.
