well, i just got back from the theater and there's only three words to describe this film: Holy Fething Crap!!!
the cinimatography was abolutely stunning and quite beautiful to watch! granted the fight scenes are not historically accurate (mainly because it wouldn't be safe!) but they are none the less eye-poppingly good!
there was also a good deal of humor too, mainly from the spartans and leonidas in particular... (for example, when he goes on about how he could have sent the women to fight!)
oh and yes, it's gory and of corse has some rather explicet nudity so for all you younger members, be sure to bring your ID because anyone today even suspected of being under 18 was stopped and asked to prove their age!
alll in all, if you get a chance this weekend, i heartily recomend going to see this film!
just be warned that you'll want to go well before showtime as the theater was packed for the 1st show and as we were coming out, people were already lining up for the next show that was still an hour away!
cheers!
