"Prepare for Glory!"

I went and saw 300 on Saturday afternoon at The Galeria and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a combination of Gladiator and Troy with a similar visual style to Sin City. Gerard Butler is excellent as King Leonides and sounds a bit like Sean Connery with the shouting style and beard of Brian Blessed. All the Spartan warriors sport six packs (probably created by the extensive CGI). The chief baddie is a really tall effeminite Xerxes who is the Godking of the Persians - out for world domination. Anyway I thoroughly recommend it.
