Damn good movie, Leonidas's words were true "you will bleed".
This was a great frickin movie - the reviewers that b1tched about the historical accuracy of the fight/armor/etc are f-ing retarded. This isn't a historical documentary, i don't think there have ever been 40 ft elephants, 20 ft rhinos, armies of elite disfigured baddasses, or men with arms made of beheading axes.
It's a battle movie, pure and simple. I have no idea what people were expecting to see that would make them review this movie below an 80%.
On a side note - i chuckled a bit when i realized the dude that was doing the narrating and who told the story at the end is the friar/monk in van helsing.

As a reminder, I would like to say that this movie was base on a COMIC- which derived from the historical battle.

Saw the movie, definitely kick-ass 😀. However, I'm wondering what people are complaining about when they say "there wasn't any/enough plot!"? True, the plot was pretty darn simple, but it was developed enough, and these were simple times anyway: stomp them before they stomp you. POTENTIAL SPOILER - I think the side story with the Queen was an interesting addition also.

WOW, that would be terribly ironic if they said that since Sparta defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian war ending democracy until modern times. Although since every single other part of the movie is completely inaccurate historically they might as well claim to be the saviors of democracy too.

I just saw a movie that?ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It?s called 300. I don?t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could?ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it?d still rule.
It?s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated sh*t out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.
The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it?s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, ?I need some extra sauce packets? guess what? You?re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.
I can?t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN?T ONE. Just a$$ kicking that kicks a$$ that, while said a$$ is getting kicked, is kicking yet more a$$ that?s hitting someone?s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.
TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN?T LIKE:
COOL THING ONE:
HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES
Who gives a sh*t if the music isn?t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could?ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel?s Pretzel is telling you that you?ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.
COOL THING TWO:
FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS
Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There?s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he?s got Rosie O?Donnell on his back.
Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.
NOT SO GOOD THING:
DUDE NUDITY (?DUDE-ITY?)
These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an a$$ picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they?re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.
Any directors reading this ? IT?S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.
Can?t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?
My final analysis is 300 the most a$$-ruling movie I?ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.
