i think 300 is a darkest point in the making history of historical movies for hollywood. i wasted my time ..... so sorry... . this movie is a huge lie about persian empire. persian is first & biggest civilization empire in the world. first time , kirius (majestic of hakhamenesh) make a international message peace for the people of the world. his sun (khashayarsha) continiue the way of father.... if you want , you can see the perspolis town (historical place)of khashayarsha in IRAN (city:shiraz). but in this movie khashayarsha is a dangerous badman. this is a big lie and history cant accept it

I think there is plenty who would argue the other way.
The 300 stinks to high heaven: I don't know of any other film that appears to be serious but descends into spoof-like farce in certain scenes. The movie does a traversty to history, to Greek and Persians alike ( but not the plucky Spartan heroes of course): It glorifies violence and a society that was the most repressive and totalitarian in world history...I mean Sparta by the way. The depiction of the Persian King Xerxes as an androgynous, oversized hermaphrodite of Egyptian complexion was particularly distasteful. Not only that but you could tell the film was made in a warehouse as the computerised graphics are not that good: at times I wanted to cringe they were so bad ( take the wolf at the beginning and the hunchback): overall an orgy of nothingness, cliched to the bone, and revealing little else other than the perversity of the creator's mind.

Why is it that some people just can't accept this movie for what it was, great entertaiment. It was never intended to be a documentary. Further, this movie was based on Frank Miller's interpretation. So if you are offended by the movie, blame him instead of Zack Snyder.

The film itself was alright, and I actually did enjoy watching it a couple of times... it was to some extent entertaining.. just like the other one, "Sin City". Nevertheless, the movie was based on a degrading offensive interpratation that did little in terms of film quality for "some" of the audiance who "do" pay attention to aurthenticity. However, I do not criticise Zack Snyder for his flim, in fact... I admire him for his unique taste in cinemography but I do suggest and recommend to him and other Hollywood directors to challange the international media in making films about the great Persian Empire looking at it from a "different" angle; about Cyrus the Great who freed the Jews and is internationally recognized, about Darious and Xerxes, about Shapour, and Kosrow Parviz and their heroic battles with the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. I suggest them to read translation of the Epic Masterpiece, Shahname, by the Legendary Ferdowsi who composed the Saga of Rostam with stories full of love, honor, pride, tragedy, trechery, betrayal, hatred and romance... fictional stories full of climax, characterization and elements of surprise and suspense that any director would welcome... give it a try, you won't regret it :)

the 300 is a big lie about old history. Khashayarsha with 2645000 soldiers and 2500000 engeeniers and cooks and servants went to greece and kill 3000 soldiers of enemies no 300 soldiers and win this war.
