Artistic? Ok, they had some funky lighting sometimes, but goddamn this film of unrelenting insecure machismo was as much art in its content as is Maxim magazine. There was little to it, and the least they could do was have some decent fighting/action. You get sick of brown-speedo-wearing dudes doing the same move again and again and again. Block with shield, pirouette like a ballerina, slice. Block with shield, pirouette like a ballerina the other way, slice. It was the kind of film where after many scenes you'd expect a bunch of ten-year-old boys to scream in unison "aweeesommmmmmmmmmme". Pretty much a waste of time. Not to mention the non-action parts, where there was so little character development that it was just about impossible to give a shit about what happened to them. People should stop trying to convince each other that they're as macho as the homoerotic characters by having watched the film and attested to its "greatness". Should have probably just stayed a comic.
