I respectfully have to disagree.I too have nothing but admiration for the Spartan fighting prowes and have studied the ancient battles a bit but the spartans were who they were because they fought as a well disaplined team fighting in tight formations with ridgid disaplin.what I saw in the trailer was Spartans seeming to fight as individuals and not seeming to follow the laws of physics.I really hope I'm wrong because I have waited years for this movie to be done.I'm just not a fan of the modern movie style I guess.The lighting seems very odd to me and as mentioned every one looked rather oily in the trailer kinda like FHM models always do. ;) God I really hope I'm wrong about this movie.
