I realize that it has unfortunately become the overtly homosexual anthem of the year, but that doesn't make the movie any less great! I watched it in the theater and was hugely impressed by the screenplay and whole visual effect of the graphic novel, and even went so far as to buy the novel for myself for the coffee table.
It is out now, so people have sampled it for you tube already. Scene after scene, the Spartans are just bad ass, but my favorite has to be the stacked high with dead bodies wall full of Xerxes men. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR2o-...elated&search=
The DVD has a lot of special features too. Looks like they did the crossfit workout for a lot of the training as well.
If you are a fan of history and myth kind of intertwining as one, you will love the movie. If you have seen it, what are your thoughts?
