Very Good-Some People Just Don't Get It

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2007)

In my opinion this movie was great. It did what it was meant to do.
Racially: I believe that the movie was simply a portrayal of the times then. It is not completely accurate and true but does it really matter? This movie was not meant to be of historical significance so the people who were offended by this movie and gave it a low rating should really learn to not be so defensive because no one is trying to attack your culture.
Historically: Fact of the Matter? NO ONE CARES. BECAUSE...I do not recall seeing "Documentary" anywhere in the title: 300. It's all numbers folks. If you went to watch this movie for the purpose of a history lesson then you have been very misguided as to the purpose of this movie.
Acting Comments: In my opinion, the acting was great, not perfect, the lines were all pretty much quotable and I have seen complaints about this as well. Think about this though, the best lines were taken from the comic book, and the plot was meant to be simple: Spartans Versus Persians for Freedom against Slavery of the Spartan people for Persia. Point of the matter: this is not a movie of deep provocative thought. That was not the purpose of this movie.
Purpose of this Movie: CREATE AN AWESOME PORTRAYAL OF THE COMIC. It has been done. The lines were from the comic book. The graphics and scenes from the movie can be found in the comic book. Aside from the side story of the Queen, everything followed the comic book. And in my opinion it was all very well done. The acting/graphics turned this movie into a big hit and everyone in the theater throughly enjoyed it. There is no doubt in my mind that many of the lines in the movie will be quoted for the next few months. Overall rating 9/10.
