I never fancied this film when it first came out but I recently watched it as my mum received it as a gift for xmas. I enjoyed it but i must ask if anyone knows if all them men were really that honed and toned or were their 6 (or even 8!) packs computer generated/enhanced?

Please is that all you watched it for? It is a good film I really liked the big beardy guy who played leonidis.

Where in my post did i say that that was the only reason i watched it?! If you read it properly i was just curious if their 6 packs were real or CG! There's no need to be so rude!

My apologies

Saw an interview with Gerard Butler and I think he said it was a combination of 3 months intense gym work (and strict diet) and make up effects...if you look up photos from on set you can see the actors look pretty much how they do in the movie...which would certainly be a bit intimidating for the guys in the crew!

Still not seen this, but got in on order for £3.99 from Pl*y for the single disc version... can't wait

its a good film - i really didnt want to watch it but the bloke said i would enjoy it and i did.

the effects are great but i would like to think it was all hard work on Gerards part.

It was a really good film and Gerard Buttler was great, by the way isn't he also going to be in that chick flick p.s I love you?

i did enjoy this film it was a okay

there was a few months of gym workouts, but they were probably put on cretane as well, which just fills your muscles full of water to give the appearance of being stacked, i imagine they had a lot of make-up as well.
