300 is without a doubt, a freakin amazing movie. I am still stunned and blown away although I watched the movie this afternoon. First off, the GORGEOUS Spartan men in combat, half-naked with their rippling six-pack muscles, so brave and so unafraid to die in the name of their country, was enough a reason to watch this movie. Not a single moment did they regret or fear to die, they just don't make men like this nowadays! Secondly, the way they treat their women...so respectful and kind, in an era where women were nothing more than sex objects and baby-makers. The Spartans were way ahead of their time in this sense..it's really something to watch these cold, brave, hard men weaken in the presence of their loved wives. Sigh....Furthermore, the effects were awesome. Realistic and detailed, although sometimes it got too gory, like the part where one of the Spartans head got chopped off...that was a bit too lifelike. But I just have a weak appetite for things of a gory nature, I'm sure others found this all really amazing. Rodrigo Santoro as the 9-foot heavily-pierced Persian king is unrecognizable, he's the HOT guy from Lost and Love Actually. However in 300, he looks completely different but acts well. Lastly, all I can say is this movie is FANFUCKINGTASTIC, it deserves a million Oscars. Here's to the Spartans!!!!!
