Because only Spartan women give birth to REAL MEN

Ok. So let's see what a REAL man looks like. Remember Captain Artemis' son, Astinos, who got his head chopped off in the last quarter or so of 300? So all you women out there were cooing over him, right? Have to admit he looks quite hot. But yeah, so you thought he was the Legolas of Lord of the Rings, Nobutada of The Last Samurai... etc etc etc. Ladies. Let's see what a REAL SPARTAN MAN looks like.



(This is Michael Fassbender. My favourite :D )









(Look at him flyyyy....)









(Very hot... literally)









(Am I the only one who thinks this scene looked damn cool?)









Okay, back to the point... our main man Tom Wisdom as Astinos during the premiere of 300.



Looking good Tom. A better looking Brad Pitt.









Leftmost guy in still. Not bad, eh? (Can't find a better picture of him in the film as yet. Someone care to contribute?)









Here he is again in Journey's End... wearing a pot on his head.





And last but not least...



Ladies, meet Marco Bailey, affected, effeminate, half-gay pretty boy of British TV series Mile High fame (He's a steward-ess on Fresh! airlines).





Here's your real Spartan man. Watch Mile High and you'll know how ironic this is. He must have done a lot of body-building for 300, because he was a little puny boy with no biceps in Mile High... which was such a brainless TV series that you can't really even find much info / stills about it on the Internet. :D

If you want adrenaline on the silver screen the 300 is definitely the sh*t! :-)

I enjoyed watching it, for a couple of reasons of which the visual displays of it all was one of them. Having read the comic by Frank Miller, I find it pretty much the same, but still very different from the movie (to simplify it; Zack Snyder used the original graphical novel for the graphical storyboard for the making of the scenes, and then some changes of the manuscript were made, and bla bla bla ;-))

Wisdom/Astinos looks good in exactly one scene - in the beginning of the movie when King Leonidas inspects his troops, but then he loses it.

I read that the muscles of the actors were faked, but it wasn't explained in what way. The only thing I know about that is that it wasn't digitally.

'nuff ranting.

Cheers!

You write very well.

Their muscles were not faked. They trained for months on end especially to get those particular muscles like that. They were of course digitally enhanced to a certain point with shadows & lighting etc...
