The horror of ancient warfare

[Chester]

Why are people giving 300 a hard time? I've been to a house party where that film played in the background on several flat screens, with sound off, just for a stunning visual picture;which was the point of the film.

300 is based on a comic, which in turn is loosely based on a historical event. I was never under the impression while watching the film that it was anything more than fantasy action. It had demons in it for crying out loud!
