Watched 300 ystrday with a friend... and I must say what a movie!!! Its a total adrenaline rush.... the movie portrays the courage of the spartans in the face of impossible odds. it was not jst blood and gore all the way but had all the elements you wud luk for in a movie... the account of the battle of thermopylae is the battle depicted in the movie. though it is not an accurate version of history...it was based on frank millers graphic novel 300.. i wondered y the number 300... according to history that was the number of spartans who stood against the persian god-king xerxes... its a must watch...i wud rate it 4/5....
for some historical account of the battle:
Battle of Thermopylae
