I don't know him, but isn't he known on the board as Dalt?

A critic on NPR called it a movie for arm-chair warriors, which I must say, I have to agree with for the most part. The action/violence seemed to inspire video-game bloodlust in the other men in the theater...men that were obviously not in the military and probably know little to nothing about the Spartans or combat in general.
The only problem I had with the movie was the way they attempted to portray the Spartans as such great and noble warriors. Yes they were, but their child-rearing methods and specific selection process seemed almost as evil as the Persians. Now, I'm not an expert on Sparta history so I don't know if that was accurate or comic book flare. If anyone knows I'd love to hear it.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
But overall, one of the better movies I've seen in a very long time.
