I've been familiar with the story for a long time, and I read "Gates of Fire" a couple of years ago, so I was really looking forward to 300. I have to say that I wasn't real crazy about it, though. I didn't like the "filmed in a small box" feel all the green screen acting had in Sin City, and unfortunately it was basically repeated in 300. I think the movie would have been a lot better if they had actually gone outside and done some filming. And the blood effects often looked a little weird, especially when you consider that no one ever got very bloody. On the plus side, the action sequences were quite good. Unfortunately, action sequences alone don't make a great movie.

For entertainment, I thought is was really good movie. Went to an early matinee with only about 20 people in this huge theater and everyone started clapping at the end. Never saw that before. Maybe a bunch of war-monger, gladiator types. Who's to say. But I do admit, I love battle tactics. Wonder why...
Historically???....They missed a few things like the fact that Spartans had their own slaves (okay, citizens that took care of the Spartan warriors) while fighting for freedom??? But I guess if you want a historically correct movie, you'd watch History Channel or Discover Channel or read the book "Gates of Hell". Good reading. Couldn't put the book down.
I agree with rbaldino. I would've loved to have seen outside action. There was an old movie called "The 300 Spartans" that was more factual and outdoors, but they could not capture the immense size of the Persian army nor the true Phalynx of the Spartans.

I liked the movie because it did have cool action scenes and a pretty good soundtrack to back it up.
But it was not historically acurate at all. The whole rhino thing I wasn't buying, and the elephants were as big as the ones on Lord of the Rings. The king of persia's whole moving throne would be impossible for starving slaves to carry. Oh and the Spartans didn't have any armour on but historically the armour is what made them so good. They had such advanced armour that they wouldn't get wounded and could kill so many. Then I think it didn't show how invunarable the spartans were because they got massacared by some of the persians special forces after like three waves.
A great movie, I loved the action, if only they'd make it more accurate then I'd love it more. IMO

I'm buying this one on HD, it's great for entertainment. If you want plot and real history then it's crap but for excitement and gore this movie is excellent. Plus my boyfriend loves historical movies and I don't but we both liked this one. A little for everyone. Although I didn't like the part with the creepy old wizard guys and
