  I totally agree with everything you said. I also liked the movie, enough to watch it twice. I liked the script as it wasn't cheesy, the acting, the graphic treatment, like you said...and well, I liked everything!
  
  After watching the movie, I went to imdb and found out the following:
  
  1) The principal cast went through a six week rigorous training and work out.
  
  2) The actor who played King Leonidas is the actor who played Phantom in the movie version of Phantom of The Opera.
  
  3) The oracle is only a model, not an actress. (Do you think her scenes were shot underwater? Her movements, hair and clothes seemed so fluid and her facial expressions looked like she was trying hard not to breathe, as if she was underwater).
  
  4) The actor who played Xerxes is a famous Brazilian model who was recently cast as another survivor in Lost.
  
  5) And yes, the actor who played Xerxes went through a lot of hair waxing that he couldn't take the pain and found a respect for women who undergo waxing. Furthermore, after the first waxing experience, he insisted that he be shaved everyday instead.
  
  6) They reused the props (shields, spears, etc) from Troy and Alexander.
  
  7) Most of the film, 90% actually, was shot on blue and green screens.
  
  8) Personally, I don't find the actress who played the queen that beautiful in real life. In fact, she looked plain. All that curly hair made the difference.
  
  9) I also loved the dresses. I was half tempted to find plain white bedsheets in our closet and ribbons from old gifts and make dresses out of them!
  
  10) The actor who plays the narrator is Faramir, Boromir's brother in Lord of The Rings.
  
  11) The actor who played Leonidas' captain is also the captain to Brad Pitt's Achilles in Troy.
  
  12) According to Greek Historians, in real life, before going to battle, King Leonidas told his queen to "marry a good man and have nice children." Sob!!!

  Surprisingly, I loved the glorious gore in the movie. I wanted more heads to roll and blood to flow. Lovely. Hehehe.
