It's been almost a week since we saw this, and I just can't get it off my mind. I think that I'll have to watch it again. The action, while stylized, was mind-bogglingly impressive. The story was clear without being simplistic. The characters were engaging
- and beautiful. The theme (freedom good, tyranny bad) was familiar and delivered so convincingly that I mused to Shel that perhaps every Marine should be required to own a copy.
Oh, yeah, and while Rodrigo Santoro is only 6'2", Xerxes is terrifyingly large.
