Saw this a while back, and it looks awesome. I can't wait to see it.

Didn't they fight completely naked, historically? Or am I thinking of something else? I recall a friend of mine mentioning that it wasn't true to history because they had *some* clothing on. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The graphic novel was like that as well, I seem to recall, and it was a good read. And no, Spartans aren't "good" per se - they are, however, the heroes of this story. The story isn't exactly about Spartan society, it's about 300 men fighting a massive enemy to save their people and way of life. It kinda makes sense. This also isn't a documentary - of course it's romanticized. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
