Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, the movie is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale. - source from warnerbros 300themovie website.

comments: reminds me of kill bill...in slow-mo..heads rolling off the floor, blood gushing like fountains, flying arms and legs, swords lashing thru flesh, cries of agony (sometimes sounds abit fake). The only thing i really like was the way the 300 men stood by their fort/wall and build the wall of persian men. Oh oh there was this farnie bit where they hid under their shields and one of their men, laughing ironically 'fighting in the shade'. okie this u have to watch the movie to appreciate his little humor.
