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.

It was OK. I wasn't expecting much, so I enjoyed it. Sadly, the people I watched it with were expecting something, and they hated it. My boyfriend described it by saying it was like watching MTV for two hours.
To be honest, there wasn't much of a plot, the acting was almost unnecessary, the visuals were more just to make it look cool, and the music was jarring (guitar riffs in the middle of an orchestral score?!).
That said, I still liked it. Any time you get David Wenham half naked . . . I'm there.
Historically, it was way off.

I loved this movie....I wouldn't mind going back and seeing it again in theaters. The graphics are great and it makes you feel like you want to cheer the Spartans on from beginning to ending. And yes, all those soldiers and their hot bodies....man that was just crazy! Makes me want to just run into their arms and get lost in there forever!

I enjoyed the movie very much, good story line and the visuals were absolutely stunning. Not to mention Gerard Butler is a deliciously beautiful man.
Limegreen, how can you say a movie is "crappy" without having seen said movie.

Meet the Spartans & Beverly hills Chihuahua additionally made plenty in container place of work sales. that doesn't lead them to solid does it? Its a common Michael Bay movie, to many explosions, not sufficient plot.

Limegreen... how can you say, you've never seen it and don't want to... then say, it's gory and deserved an R rating? Seems like you did see it, and if not and you hear that from someone else... yeah, it was gory, but who said war is about picking daisies!

I have never seen it, and I don't want to. It's extremely gory, and has a lot of sexual references in it. I think it certainly deserves its R rating. No one should watch this movie. It's certainly crappy.
