The only thing good about it was the historical event itself. The novie was poorly acted, poorly shot, and poorly edited. It made an amazing story seem almost insignificant and boring. The battles were pathetic. The action was lame and the obvious lack of man power made an epic heroic stand look like a playground scirmish. Honestly this movie really sucks big time. You think it was better than most sand and sandels movies of that era? I can only think of two. Ben Hur and Spartacus. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! better than Ben Hur and Spartacus?

I simply said "most". Ben-Hur and Spartacus were two big-budget exceptions, not "most". Its been a while since I've seen "The 300 Spartans", and I recall it was well-produced for the early 60s, though certainly not lavish. I assess it in that context. Are you still pissed that I dissed the fantasy comic book-based "300" about Thermopylae that's due out this year?

  OK what other ones were there that would put 300 better than most? So far from that era its distant 3rd out of 3. Dead lat place by a country mile. What other's were there? I don't remember any.
  " Its been a while since I've seen "The 300 Spartans", and I recall it was well-produced for the early 60s, though certainly not lavish."
  
  It's been a few months for me. Memories can be quite romanticised. It was very badly produced for any era as well as badly acted.
  
  " I assess it in that context."
  
  OK but still that put's it against Ben Hur and Sparticus.
  
  " Are you still pissed that I dissed the fantasy comic book-based "300" about Thermopylae that's due out this year?"
  
  No, I didn't even realize you were the same guy. But is this why you dissed a movie you have never seen and a genre as a whole? Is it becuase of some romanticised distant memories of a movie you saw and loved as a kid?
