Answer 1

I just loved 300!! I used to say GLADIATOR was my favorite film but now I love 300 more! 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. I know people say it's all digitally enhanced but I don't care. It looked pretty real when it needed to look real.

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!! It was told from the viewpoint of a survivor, someone who came back to Sparta and told the story. Of course there will be embellishments!

Ah, but it wasn't just a good story, it was just a spectacular feast for the eyes in many respects and was very inspiring. It was a story about duty and loyalty, courage and honor. Who doesn't like that?

No question, 300 is the best movie of 2007 so far. I've seen several: WILD HOGS, 23, GHOST RIDER, CATCH & RELEASE, MUSIC & LYRICS, DEAD SILENCE.... um, some other 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! I'll buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out.

Movies tend to be somewhat symbolic. Like near the end when everyone was sent home except 300 soldiers. The movies had maybe 75, but they represented the 300.
Now, go read some history. You will see that the movie is historically accurate. Now I am sure that there were scenes in the movie showing things that didn't happen. However, is was pretty close.
Some think that the battle that was fought by Leonidas was to draw the Persian army away from the sea so they would lose the war in a sea battle.
Look at some history... it isn't that far off.

Answer 3

I almost fell asleep at the beginning. The subplot with the wife was weak and almost pointless. The ending was confusing as there is no telling of how much time has passed (A Day/Year(s)). The CGI wolf was completely laughable. BUT the fight scenes were GREAT as was Butler as the lead. Why have a Spartans with an Italian accents when you can have ones with Scottish and British ones instead? Seriously, for some reason it worked for me...

Maybe I was hoping for BRAVE HEART too much. Great fight scenes with actual characters you care about, along with a great plot, and sub-plots for my 8 bucks. All-and-all it was okay. Should be great on cable.

Answer 4

I though it was a really great movie, and it wasnt racist at all.....and I don't even understand how someone would come up with that. Some scenes were a little pointless, but overall it was a great film with terrific battle scenes.
I like the graphics and the story, but probably the story more than the graphics.

Answer 5

i don't think it was that bad.. i didn't consider it racist and i am asian. they were trying to emphasize the opulance, greed, and mystique that the King Xerxes supposedly was like. and if he was the king, and forced his subjects to act or look accordingly..for example the hunchback dude. he totally seduced him w/ the women and money, so the dude kinda wore the same clothes and had a funky hat now. anyways, it's based on a graphic novel, and we all know that in cartoons and stories people have to make extreme "good" characters and extreme "evil" ones.... even though it is also based on a true story...gotta have a good and bad!

the graphics were AWESOME

Answer 6

I loved the movie 300 I thought that it was on of the best movies that has come out this year!!! I think the graphics and story line was great! King leotius(sp) was sexy as hell!! Stop hating on the movie kid!

Answer 7

I liked it, it had good special effects and a good story, you just have to look past the race issues. It's supposed to be entertainment, not an accurate portrayal of history.

Answer 8

i enjoyed it.
