Close to a waste of time movie

Rating: 4/10 (14 September 2007)

Lighting was poor and volume was too loud for the sound effects, not the people. Made it difficult to watch and difficult to hear what was being said because of the poor sound effects. Will not recommend this movie to anyone. The masses of Spartans was never clear. Looked like 10 people when there should have been 300. Wasn't that the name of the movie? What's with the graphics? Are we to believe that Spartans were naive and unintelligent enough to let their nation be taken over by Persians in that manner? If this movie producer had studied a bit of Spartan history there may have been some more believable scenes and some more real drama introduced. The only saving grace was the love story and the fact that women have had a voice in their nation for some time now.
