Saw this with a couple of friends this weekend. Excellent movie, but it really is a "Guy" movie, with lots of blood, guts, and "glory"!!! Left the wife at home & glad I did because she wouldn't have liked it very much. The effects are great, especially the slow-mo fight scenes.

Sorta like what one critic said, "It's like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, WITHOUT the Hobbits, elves looking soulfully into each other's eyes, the journey through the swamp....."

We thought it was more a mix of Braveheart & Lord of the Rings (CG fight scenes). Well worth watching on the big screen.

I was thinking it was more like "Battle of Helms Deep" but for the entire movie, maybe with about 5 minutes tacked onto the beginning to give some preamble. "Ok blah blah blah, here are the Spartans, blah blah blah gratuitous boob shot or two, blah blah blah. Ok, now go fight the invading Persian hoardes! 300 people versus several hundred thousand, blah blah blah, zing zang clang clatter boom crash, everybody dies, gratuitous touching scene involving son of king, blah blah blah the end."

Maybe with a few good visuals thrown in for good measure. Blah blah blah elephants, blah blah giant rhino, a few weird looking mutants and some more concubines. Whee!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I just sorta ... it wasn't the "best" movie I've ever seen and well, I guess I can say it's the "best movie I've seen in the theatre this year" because, well, .. it's the only movie I've seen in the theatre this year!

This can be interpreted in so many ways . . .

Well there might have been one or two boob shots but my girlfriend love the fact that all of the VERY ripped guys were in g-strings most of the time.

I could just look at myself in the mirror for a few hours instead. Well, except for the whole "VERY ripped" part. Oh, and the g-string part. Ok, so maybe not at all.

I saw it last night, thought it was pretty cool. I also thought it was a mix of Lord of the Rings and Brave Haert, they even spoke with Scottish accents!! But really, I didn't know that Greeks sounded Scottish
