I just want to say ...
This movie officially makes every movie in existence a "chick flick."
Every scene of gore, violence, arrogance, machismo, "battle-porn" ... all is now mushy, lovey-dovey crap, fit for children.
At the conclusion of the screening I attended, the staff came out with hedge clippers to clear a path through the aisle. Why hedge clippers? Because the spontaneous explosions of chest hair from all moviegoers made it impossible to navigate the new jungle-like foliage of the theatre.
One thing, more seriously - what's up with when the Persian Emissary gives his admonition and his face dims except for his eyes? ("...only the whites of their eyes...") Holy crap, talk about offensive. I was seeing it with two of my black friends, and I was glad that didn't come up.
And before anyone gets all, "it's an allegory for the present political climate surrounding the war!" ... realize that can go both ways (Xerxes as Bush, Xerxes as <insert your favorite flavor of the "enemy" here>).

I want to see it. I've heard everywhere it's amazing.
Its probably worth buying tix instead of torrenting like I do everything else.

Good movie. Im just not liking the fact that now Iran is pissed at America...more. They think that the movie makes them all look like a menace that must be killed. COME ON! How many times will the world overreact over a movie or a game?

Pretty Sexy Film, visually impeccable ^^ Mind you the persian army seemed to consist of several billion men. Think of it as historical fantasy, why did all the persians look african also has more disfigured people in it than any other film I've ever seen
