I liked it because I've never had so many wtf moments in one sitting. Regardless of reality, one has to admit the Spartans looked SO freakin' badass tossing Persians around like they were nothing. Just try to keep a more open mind if you ever watch it again.

    That seems a little harsh so maybe I should take that as a joke.

    HBO's Rome is a movie I liked, actually I liked Alexander, even Gaugamela was all I have read it was. This is all I can think of

    300 was never meant to be historically accurate. It was meant to show the courage and determination of three hundred Spartans (plus the other Greeks that also fought in thermopylae) that fought against an army much bigger (200/300 thousand but never a million that some records of that time said), and stood there, fighting to the death (only the Spartans stayed to the end which only demonstrates their superiority over other soldiers at that time) to protect their "country" (just a matter of speech), for their culture and for everything they believed in.

    For Troy, It's just a dumm movie
