Either a work of art or a 2 hour long advertisement for bronzer

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2007)

I believe this movie to be something that you would either love or hate. No in between.
First of all, the acting was brilliantly done, beautiful cinematography and the dialogue was...wow (for lack of a better word)
Gerard Butler made it believable that he was a true leader in the film and his Queen was a true feminist. With her witty remarks to her unpredictable actions...she kept you wondering.
The narration was very well done, and throughout the film it was as though you were taking the same journey every Spartan man went through.
The bad side of this film is that the nudity was sometimes offending, but one would have to consider that that is how it was in those times. With the Oracle girl (who actually brought tears to my eyes due to the fact that she was held there against her will by the Ephors), or Xerxes' women. He had his own private strip club.
Despite the minor (VERY minor) glitches, this film was one of the best (if not THE best) movies of the year.
Well done.
