GREAT MOVIE!
I saw this the other night and all I can say is WOW. I went with Tasha and she loved it too. My only complaint is that it got entirely too artsy in spots. When you see the movie, you will know what I mean. This movie is a story about a moment in history that really happened.
I found certain moments directly insulting to my intellegence, and considering that I enjoy watching wrestling, those are some pretty DUMB moments.
All in all though, I feel this is a MUST SEE movie. And it really needs to be seen in the theatre to truly enjoy the strong visual impact that this movie has.
THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR CHILDREN!!! Some ding-bat brought his maybe 12 year old boy with him. This movie is a lot graphic violence and has one love scence that can only be descibed as soft core porn.
Do not be scared of the blood and gore in the movie. There *IS* alot but it is really done in an unrealistic but artisically well way. So yes there is a lot of blood, but it shouldn't make you queasy. I personally do not enjoy blood/gore in a movie but this was not offensive to me at all.

I do wnat to see this as well as Kelly but I have heard (I am not up on the history of the Spartans) that it isn't historically correct.

I was kind of disappointed that they watered down the story as much as they did. And we won't even get into what they did to the Persians! LOL! Still, great movie if you take it with a grain of salt. It really is a must see in the theatre. It really has that much of a visual impact.

I have not heard of this movie? Who is in it? Can you give a synopsis of the movie. Thanks Ok, back in the time of ancient Greece, the country was a collection of city states. Each city sort of specialised in a different aspect of life. Sparta was the city that honoured warriors and combat skills above other things. At one point in history, Perisan armies were out to control the world and had their sights set on Greece. Due to the laws, it was impossible for the king to go to war without permission from his cabinet. Knowing full well that if he didn't act, all of Greece would be lost, the king of Sparta took 300 of his soldiers to this one mountain pass to stall and delay the onslaught of the entire Persian army. All but one person of that 300 died. Here is the link to the movie homepage. You can watch the trailer for it here. 300themovie.warnerbros.com/

Awesome movie! Though not historically correct. Great action scenes, the effects was amazing, and the acting was fairly decent for an action flick. Definitely worth catching in the theatres.
-4 out of 5 fingers.
