I loved this movie too! I thought it was awesome! I was not really too much into the trailers that I saw either, but let me tell you when I saw the movie I loved it besides the fact that there were hot half naked men in it. Seriously a bonus and yes at one point I was cheering for the queen too! The one guy was a serious jerk and deserved what he got. All in all a great movie, I really do want to see it many more times. Plus, my hottie Rodrigo Santoro is in it. Yes, he is Xerxes!!!!
