Best "chick flick" ever!

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2008)

If you like lots of buff guys in very little clothing (and really, who doesn't?!) being extremely masculine in slow motion, then this is the movie for you. Also a super cool queen who gives as good as she gets and a storyteller who sets the groundwork so you understand the Spartan philosophy. Fantastic comic book violence (I got a little blood lust going) and no "Hollywood" ending. I was riveted and cheering on the Spartans even though we all knew how it was going to end. This is what movie making is all about. Sit back and enjoy a very watchable film and don't worry about whether it is historically accurate. It is the idea and essence of the real Spartans, made into an entertaining fantasy film. Brilliant stuff.
