From Rottentomatoes.com

"Pales in comparison to the recent cinematic epics it invokes."

"A depressing pageant of bad dialogue, uninspired sword fights, corny getaways, and loads of completely unintentional sexual innuendo."

And no I haven't seen it nor does it beckon me to want to see it.

And about Xerxes...aside from the awesome scene with the redhead (was she in water, 'cos her movements...) WAS a HUGE Queen and couldn't stop thinking why they did that. I figure if a bunch of dudes are making a manly film...Who's idea was Xerxes?
