A very entertaining movie.

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2012)

This movie is almost purely an entertainment piece. It really does not have much of a plot and what it does have its very simple and straight forward. The acting is done well from most of the actors. Some of the side actors were guilty of over acting in a variety of scenes which was upsetting. The visuals were pretty to look at and the battle scenes done well and intense. Its not the most historically accuarate movie but its still good.
This movie is about the king of Sparta who is told that the persians are coming to take over Greece. He tries to bring the spartan army to go battle the persians but the council does not let him. So he takes 300 body guards with him to guard a pass that the persians have to cross through. Its a very narrow path between two cliffs so the thousands of thousands of persians really don't have the advantage against the highly trained spartans.
This movie was really good but a few points were somewhat disappointing. Like the fact it was not historically accuarte and the side actors who were not so good other then that pretty good movie.
