Review: Pretty damn nice flick... Bombastic, pompous, aggressive (even if a bit slow in the beginning)... you could tell they spent the money on what you saw on film instead of some asshole actor's $20 mil / airplane / personal island paycheck... The story plays with history a bit, but as with modern myth-making, or reinterpreting legends, that is to be expected...

Honestly, think about... the Greek gods were myths that developed from legends and reality... the American pantheon itself.. Washington has his myths and legends... Franklin and Jefferson as well... even though they're closer to our modern times... So is it that hard to expect that we take our stories that we grow up with and develop them with little regard to history? After all that is what movies do, create legends or myths out of facts (or the closest we can get to the facts)... So I'm not worred about the history being played with in 300, as it tells a pretty good story...

Of course there was the nudity... half the crowd snickered when they saw Gerard Butler's naked body in silhouette or when Lena Headey proved that women without implants can be attractive topless... The Oracle's dance was quite, revealing as well...

Score: Good
