300 - the movie

The movie 300, directed by Frank Miller, is a movie about the battle of Thermopylae between 300 Spartan soldiers and the Persian Empire in 480 B.C. Originally 300 was a graphic novel written by Frank Miller. The battle of Thermopylae lasted 3 days and all 300 Spartans died. After the battle of Thermopylae the rest of Greece banded together to fight the Persian Empire.

I thought this movie was excellent;

one reason is because it tried to use the actual battle of Thermopylae as a reference and tried to make it a good adaptation of that battle. This movie is for anyone who likes action movies or if you just like history then I think you will enjoy this movie very much.
