This movie is really good

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2007)

Well to begin with the only thing that i found exxagerated is the monsters that Persians had which i found very normal for a Hollywood movie. Therefore the movie is accurate according to the history that Greek students learn at school (i am a Greek guy as u understand). In Thermopiles 300 Spartans fought against 100.000+ Persians. Not one million!!! It says that in the movie !!!! In the end, in the battle in Plataies. (Where it says that 40.000 fought in analogy 3-1 against the Persians). Also it was Efialtis that betrayed them. And yes,OK, you can find it brutal that all the problematic kids where kill. But that was Sparta. Thats why a small town was the one two biggest powers of the times. And i can add that Sparta was the only city that didn't have wall to protect it. It was a sign of their power. Also Sparta was the only city that women were so recognized and mother and wife was a holy and respected thing. Why no one comments about that? In the end the movie was great, historical accurate with really good action. People comment that how can 300 fight against so many?? Well i am telling u if a child is being raised a warrior with the idea that dying for your country is the highest honor how can he be beaten? Remember that they were fighting mostly against slaves of the Persian empire, not warriors.
