Cinematic flexibility with historical accuracy has been a hallmark of the film indistry for as long as I can remember. However, most of the storyline in '300' is just patently false and racist (to put it delicately).
The Spartans were perhaps one of the most undemocratic societies of their times. As the reviewer of the film noted, ideology and the overt politicization of the film detract heavily from it strengths.
The depiction of the Persians cannot be called anything but racist. Monsters and half-humans are easy to hate and root against. Films inherently necessitate a degree of editorial and artistic imagination. The historical imaginary of this film and its laughable and ethnicized portrayal of the Persians renders it no different than its erstwhile incarnation as a comic book. Can anyone say "Alexander?'

What's great about it: Effects
What's not so great: Everything Else
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
