Action-packed Beefcake Bonanza!

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2007)

I just saw this today. I wasn't all that excited about seeing it, expecting nothing but a CGI blood and guts war epic set in ancient Greece. SNORE! The first 45 minutes used to set up the film won me over. Not only was the hero interesting, he and his co-horts were body-beautiful beefcake on parade. Zowie! Now, the washboard abs were NOT why I enjoyed the movie, but they certainly were enough to help pull me in to the action. I wound up really enjoying the spectacle and action. It was a popcorn flick--but much more enjoyable than the bulk of what Hollywood hurls at us. This is so NOT the typical flick I would usually see or enjoy, but I WILL be buying a copy on DVD when it comes out. Oh yes...!
