It's a million times better than ALEXANDER (though I do like Colin Farrell). I just loved 300!! I used to say GLADIATOR was my favorite film but now I love 300 more! What an awesome movie! Yes, better than TROY, better than BRAVEHEART, better than any other "swords and chaos" film that I've seen, I can honestly say that 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.

My opinion - Better than Alexander, and a million times better than Troy. If you're after a bit of mindless entertainment, some blood and guts and action, with a fantasy feel to it, it's great. Cinematography and special effects/CGI are superb. If you're after serious, historical, literary, meaningful, or something that makes total sense, don't bother. Also for an epic historical film it's pretty short, only just 2 hours, so you don't get time to be bored.

If you like the comic you'd like the movie too. They're so much similar.
The movie is letting you know that you've never been to a place like this.
The battle scenes call to mind the film's graphic-novel origins, so that blood never flows like real blood but bursts out in discrete pieces, like rose petals.
It's not bad.
Advisory: Severed limbs, stylized blood, lots of violence, nudity, simulated Spartan sex

Depends on what you like in a movie. It's like "gladiator" without a plot. Or, if you prefer, like a video game - complete with boss monsters.
If you like movies with lots of fight scenes and a generous helping of gore, then you will be thrilled with "300". If you're looking for great acting and intricate plot twists, then you need to find something else to watch.

If you like action films, no underlying messages, just pure "blokes knocking the crap out of each other", watch it, Lena Headey's worth the admission itself.
