Fantastic!

Okay people.
I don't understand what in the world is wrong with the people who say this movie sucks. It's an action movie. You aren't supposed to over-analyze it!!! I think it's brilliant! It's entertaining, exciting, visually STUNNING, and just plain awesome! The actors do a mesmerizing job, Gerard Butler is perfect as King Leonidas. I was pretty much glued to my seat for the entire duration of the movie, and afterwords, I couldn't stop talking about it. This movie ranks as one of the best action movies EVER in my book. I think it was a fantastic adaptation of Frank Miller's original graphic novel.
Here we come to my main point: this movie is NOT based on the actual historic events that took place between between the Spartans and the Persians. This movie is an adaptation of the graphic novel, which is an adaptation of the actual events. So come on you negative critics!!! It's not meant to be a realistic period drama! I mean geez...
The action is magnificent. The acting is magnificent. THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!! Not to mention those half-naked men are majorly drool-worthy.... So please, stop over analyzing it. It's supposed to be entertainment, and I say it's damn good entertainment. The love story between Queen Gorgo and King Leonidas is wonderful straight to the end. Even though you know from the very beginning that all the 300 men will die, you also know that they're not going down without one hell of a fight.
Do yourself a favor: watch it. Be prepared for some great action sequences, beautiful CGI effects and a serious amount of testosterone.
P.S. I highly recommend this movie to everyone, including my girlfriends by saying: 300 is the ultimate chick-flick! I could ramble on for ages about the divinity of Gerard Butler and his male co-starts, but I won't. Let me just say, Eye-candy. Big time.
