"300": We Flex Our Mighty Pecs In Your General Direction!!

I finally saw it today, and liked it very much. One thing, though; could I possibly be the only person of all those who've made such hay of the physiques of the actors playing the Spartans who noticed said physiques were digitally enhanced? David Wenham, who played Faramir in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, here plays Dilios. Wenham is 6' tall, but is slight of build. The pecs, chest and six-pack he sports in this film could have only been achieved with steroids. Yet everything is perfectly proportioned, which is not what happens when slight men use steroids to bulk up. The same goes for Gerald Butler, who plays King Leonidis. The guy looks bigger than Kirk Douglas did in SPARTACUS and, well, nobody in movies has ever had that big a chest except Arnold Schwarzenegger.

With this fresh observation in mind, I am retroactively amused by all the talk of how "gay" were these men's physiques. If those critics had only known the truth.
