This looks exactly like my kind of movie. It can't be a historical depiction.... looks more like they threw in a fantasy element. I will probably go see this one at the theater.

It's Hollywood, every history film is fantasy

For what it's worth, this military historian liked the movie...

But most importantly, 300 preserves the spirit of the Thermopylae story. The Spartans, quoting lines known from Herodotus and themes from the lyric poets, profess unswerving loyalty to a free Greece. They will never kow-tow to the Persians, preferring to die on their feet than live on their knees.

If critics think that 300 reduces and simplifies the meaning of Thermopylae into freedom versus tyranny, they should reread carefully ancient accounts and then blame Herodotus, Plutarch, and Diodorus — who long ago boasted that Greek freedom was on trial against Persian autocracy, free men in superior fashion dying for their liberty, their enslaved enemies being whipped to enslave others.
And if you want to read a good (fictional) book about the 300...

See now I am getting more intrigued, I just figured it was a fictional story by Frank Miller, are you people saying that the story behind 300 is some ancient myth or something thats been around for awhile? I've never heard about it, and I am a avid History channel watcher.

I just wish it didn't have the "Sin City" look to it...slow motion fight scenes and dark colors...blah to me which is strange because I like just about everything.
