Has anyone seen this?

We went to see it today.

I actually really liked it. The guy that plays Leonidas was fantastic.

I am not much of a history buff (that's hubby's department lol) but I did watch a documentary recently on history channel about the battle of Thermopylae. You could tell the movie was more based on the novel that was written as there were some inaccuracies and quite a bit of Fantasy (wierd creatures and such) but it was still quite enjoyable. I would definately watch it again.

But amongst the inaccuracies.... they got the most important parts correct. The premise of the war with the Persians AND the way that the Spartans actually really fought.

It was a really good movie.

And on a side note.... I wouldn't have complained about being the casting director for the Spartans roles LOL
