it made a great contrast to the spartans and how they acted. Sure, there was the cheesiness that you get with overacting. the main problem was the shot of testerone to the thigh that they try and give you through the movie.

and not in the intentional Batman TV show kind of way...more like the campy you get when you get so obsessed with masculinity that you become slightly gay. Those heterosexual love scenes seemed so forced. I think the really honest erotic object of the movie were the perfect male specimens in their spedos, with constipated looks on their faces and they flexed the abdominal muscles for every shot of the fucking movie.
It was enjoyable, but it was the most ridiculous film in recent memory.

the word i use wouldnt be ridiculous, but fantastic. Fantastically over-masculinated, over-acted, over-the-top. But you would have been able to look past the chiseled men if it weren't for some of the shots where they meant for you to look at them. I agree though, the love scene was extremely forced. I mean, putting them in all those positions and everything was unneeded. But the freeze frames I feel were warranted. They are recreating a comic, and when they slowed it down like that you could imagine seeing it on printed page with "ZIP" and "CRUNCH" or whatever they use written in the bottoms of the panels. Just my two cents.

but it was freaking ridiculous. It was cool (and would have been really cool if the movie was the hack 'n slash awesomefest I was hoping for), but I was laughing at it a lot of the time.
