Could have been but I heard they ended up cutting out the "drop the soap" scene.

Oh, and the ending was total crap.  Why did there have to be some stupid treachery subtheme?

I hope The Watchmen turns out better.

I thought he was referring to the treachery back in Sparta.  Historically everything was fine back home because the second king (conveniently forgotten in the movie) was still in charge.

I didn't like any of the treachery aspects, too black and white for me, but I didn't know, either, that it was true that some sniveling deformed guy was the only thing stopping the 300 from defeating the Persian army entirely.   :o

That said, I really only enjoyed the first couple of battles.  Most of the stuff with the bigger monsters and the campy Persian Mini-bosses was at least good for a laugh.  It just seemed that the premise of the movie revolved around a military force that was truly indestructible because of their quality and devotion to being soldiers.  Unfortunately, I think it would have made a better movie to play down the treachery angle and show that they would have been overwhelmed.

The spear at the end seemed anticlimactic to me.
