watched it- was just as i had expected, maybe a little better. weak in many departments, but visually brilliant- want to watch it in IMAX now...

It was obviously biased towards the Spartans and any logical person could see this.... Including the Arab guy sitting next to me who enjoyed the movie as much as I did.

ya, the drunk mexican next to me that was contiuning to drink alcohol during the movie liked it too.

Very good movie if you're just looking for entertainment, ive seen it twice already, and i had to drag my girlfriend to go see it the first time, but she loved it and has seen it 3 times...

the second time i watched it and i wasnt just watching for the entertainment, i got the feeling that there was a political message in it...seemed like it was referencing to the Iraq almost, especially with the recurring saying of "freedom isnt free".

anyone else think that too?

the athenians leaving could be the allied countries that have left Iraq already maybe...

The people leaving at the end where not Athenians, they were Acadian. The Athenians had exactly 0 troops at the real battle of Thermoplyae, and were not depicted in the movie.

On a side note, has anyone been on youtube and seen the videos by "persianguyagain"? They are very funny, as they attack 300 for being racist against pesians.

^^^That DOES sound rather comical. Perhaps I should check it out.

I heard a lot of great reviews on 300....I was told that if you like Gladiator, you'll like 300

I loved gladiator, it made me cry
