I don't know why everyone liked this movie. The lighting was horrible, the graphics and special effects were extremely cheesy and unrealistic, the story was stupid, everything was overexaggerated, and the action scenes weren't even that good. I had to fast-forward through most of the end to keep myself from falling asleep.

I was a little concerned when I saw the previews for 300, thinking it might border on the cheezy side of things. However, having been a fan of Sin City by Director Zack Snyder, I held out hope the movie would not take a true story and turn it into something of a farce. Gladly it did not, despite a few liberties being taken. The movie stays true to the graphic novel premise and yet follows the true story of Thermopylae fairly close throughout. Take it as a Greek story on steroids. Every male I know who has seen the movie, loves it. There is one fighting scene after another and good effort was made to make each one unique in its own essence. The ladies biggest complaint was the fact it had too many fight scenes, but overall the movie was quite good. From their perspective, I can agree, from a males view it was nice to have a good war pick without too much sappy romantic side streets to ruin a perfectly good flick. The acting was good, the story better and the movie great!

I dont know if my review will be according to how the movie really is. I went to the IMAX theater to watch it. If anyone gets a chance to watch it in IMAX i totally suggest you go. I loved every second of this movie. The actors are not familiar so it felt fresh. Also the visual of the movie was great. The whole perspective of the movie is great. Really good movie. Go see it!

300 is a total victory.

I love going to movies but this beats them all. It is now my favorite movie of all time. I have seen this movie four times and I am going to see it again while it is still in theaters. I love how much passion the Spartans have and how much love and respect they have for their people. The acting was great and I could feel a connection with them all. The movie is short, sweet and to the point. The fight sceens were the best. All around amazing. See it in theaters while you still can. You will not regret it.
