The story itself is historically accurate, as is some of the dialogue even. I went to Wikipedia out of curiousity to find out certain thigns about it. Here's an interesting tidbit.. Before its release, critics and previewers hated it.
"At a press screening hours before the premiere, Erik Davis says that the movie was received poorly by critics. "It started shortly after the opening credits; small groups of folks began heading for the door. It got worse when the main villain appeared on screen and all the audience could do was laugh. And, yes, it ended when whatever was left of a packed house booed Zack Snyder's 300 as the end credits scrolled up the screen."
"Erik Davis heavily criticised the film, calling it "one of the most overly hyped films in history... a boring, fast-food version of better films, with better scripts, better acting and better battles. 300 men fought to defend their freedom but, in the end, 300 people (including me) wanted their two hours back. Daily Ta Nea newspaper gave "300" zero out of 10."
