Yes, and no

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2007)

First out: I refuse to give a comment about the film. (Other than that...) I could say that the photo(graphy) was excellent. That the cutting was "in in its place". That the actors did their best, given the circumstances.
On the other hand this film is hardly accurate: the Spartan fighters are depicted wrongly. I mean well pumped up pectorals and all... But yeah - the spartans, in reality, did have some pretty heavy armor (for the time) but I guess muscles looks better on film. (If You actually one of those who bother to check it out, the spartans sported the heaviest armor there was at this time plus some really well disciplined fighting formations. Another thing was that there was no such thing as "freedom", in Greece at that time. The Spartans alone was the one government that had the largest percentage of slaves.... )
From another angle, my Iranian friends don't like this film at all. And I do agree - the film can easily be regarded as simple minded and racist.
What's left then? Apart from a thrill seeking movie, loaded with FX-effects...? I know this one thing... These "300" spartans knew that they were going to loose, and yet they fought...

And how they fought! The next time I'm in Greece, I'll make my way to Thermopylae, and pay tribute.
