The movie should be placed in outer space or some fantasy land

Rating: 1/10 (5 December 2007)

This is a monstrous, racist, propagandistic, jingoistic, semi pornographic (sexual as well as violent), war mongering cartoon of a movie equivalent to pro wrestling permeated with sadism and the grotesque. It is pure trash for the mind and the soul as well as an insult to everyone that lived during that historic battle. Those were real human beings who deserve to be represented with some degree of fidelity. 300 is an advanced "Triumph of the Will" with special effects to dazzle the audience into a frenzy of hatred. I think that if any ethnic group in the United States were misrepresented as the Persians are in this movie it would be grounds for defamation if not labeled a hate crime. History and truth do matter.
