Who said this was such a great movie? Geez, what a stinker. The special effects looked like a glorified video game. And what's up with the Spartans? Couldn't anybody grow chest hair back then? Every one of those warriors had a shiny, hairless chest and rippling abs. No wonder their women got so lonely, they're all down at the gym pumping iron.

It was exactly what I thought it would be: OTT, violent, lots of fights, historically accurate & half naked men screaming - bloody awesome :-)

300 was indeed a pathetic excuse for a movie. But my favorite part was the drag queen villain coming down his music hall stairs.

I agree whole-heartedly with Ria. I thought the movie was good fun - it didn't take itself seriously. The half-naked men didn't hurt, either. I got a kick out of the Persian villian with the multiple facial piercings and make-up. I liked the film for probably all of the reasons others hated it.. :)

I was based on a comic; very well done, just what I expected. great visual show, great fight scenes, cool macho dialogues, and such.
Its an entertaining movie.

They look almost exactly as the comic, not as reall life. So, they did an awesome job. Maybe you guys didnt about reading a bit about the movie before watching it...

I appreciated this movie more when I watched it for a second time and I accepted it had nothing at all to do with the actual histotical battle other then the 300 Spartans part. It had some great fight scenes and plenty of gore.
