It was difficult to feel for any of the main Spartans. Also, I just couldn't buy the fact that none of the Spartans got any of that cool special effects blood on them. After each battle they simply looked like they'd all benched pressed 225 lbs a bunch of times. And Xerxes was so gay and poorly acted that it was almost comical; he couldn't evoke much emotion from me. Furthermore, those beheadings were too cheesy...<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, though the 300 were all killed, the Greeks eventually did push pack the evil Persians...so it does make you harken back to the days when white people could actually win wars.<BR/><BR/>Having said all that, however, I do recommend it just because of the special effects and sheer coolness of it. I will still get it on dvd.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957257388149890556noreply@blogger.com
