I can honestly say that 300 is one of the best movies I have ever seen, if not, the best movie. While there isn't a great plot to back it up, the plot that is there serves its purpose, to further develop a great action movie. This is by no means a sappy romance movie, so don't expect it to be, it's a movie about a group of men struggling to defend the country they cherish.
As for everyone who bashes the legitimacy of the Persian army.. common, in reality they may have been a great, prosperous and civilized nation, but what would that do for the cinematography? Seriously? We could have the Persians strolling up to the Spartans casually chatting about the weather and if the would like to surrender or not.. or we could have a horde of bloodthirsty soldiers charging into battle with weapons flailing.. who makes a better antagonist? As for their looks, if they're gonna be the bad guys they might as well look the part.
I thought the CGI was incorporated extremely well into the movie, you can tell that it's computer animated, but it all looks incredible, almost lifelike. Also, you can't really chop off a guy's head in real life, so CGI is about as close as it's gonna get.
I honestly cannot think of a better action film I've seen or heard of. If I could give more than 10 stars I would do so in a heartbeat. Everyone (over 17 of course) should definitely see this movie at least once, if not for the historical value, then at least for the spectacular visuals and battle scenes.
