I loved it! I used to say GLADIATOR was my favorite film but I just saw 300 last weekend and I was totally blown away! What an awesome movie! I was fascinated every minute! The script, the costumes and sets, the music, everything was just PERFECT!!!
I was most impressed by the action scenes, they were choreographed very nicely and looked pretty realistic. (OK, OK, the arterial spurt was wrong, there wasn't enough gushing blood and no sword, no matter how sharp, stays sharp long enough for you to hack that many people to death but let's overlook little details like that, OK?)
I own swords and I know it's not easy to swing those babies for long, you really have to be in good shape and these guys really looked it! Like real warriors not the weekend warrior type. I mean, you could believe that they'd been training as warriors since they were kids.
OK, there was some gratuitous nudity (young "oracle" in flimsy gown, the Queen of Sparta flashing flesh, the king and queen in the bedchamber) to keep the young, testosterone laden men interested until the carnage but I guess that's only fair as we women were treated to the sight of all these buff guys in skimpy war outfits.
The bad guys were suitably bad, LOL! It cracks me up to see the people posting here at YA that are saying it's an anti-Iranian film or whatever. It's fiction for Pete's sake and it's a good story!! Ah, it was just a spectacular feast for the eyes in many respects and was very inspiring. No doubt I'll go see it again while it's still in the theaters and immediately snap up a copy when it comes out on DVD!
No question, 300 is the best movie of 2007 so far. I've seen several: WILD HOGS, 23, GHOST RIDER, CATCH & RELEASE, MUSIC & LYRICS.... um, some horror flick whose name I can't even remember now... in fact, several movies that I can't name now because they were so mundane but 300 is awesome! Both my boyfriend and I loved it!

I did not think it was that great, theres a 1962 version called 300 spartans. It is better then the new one, of course people now days dont need to act, they can can use nudity, and a hell of job editing and special effects to make a movie.

I liked it, too. You can't go into it expecting a history lesson, though, or you will be disappointed. That being said, it did offer a nice little "glimpse" into Spartan life 480 BC.
It's really not as bloody as it could have been- no guts and blood spurting. There is death and destruction and decapitation, for sure, but all in all it was very stylized and not too gory.

I found the movie to be simply amazing. Visually is like a violent poem. It does justice to the comic it is based on. Tha actors were good specially king leonidas. The story is quite simply but very satisfycing.
I am glad you liked it too!

Action was great, little too much time spend on the queen and the concil, I just would of liked it better if it was like 2 hours of full fight scenes. I know the would be too repetitive but it would be cool.
