Brian D -- Liked Cube for most of the pic, but I thought some of the character transformations toward the end came out of left field.

Just saw The 300.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Way over the top with violence and gore (it's Braveheart X 5). The film played fast and loose with the actual history of the event (in addition to the 300 Spartans, 700 additional Greeks made the last stand with King Leonidas); the Persian immortals looked more like Ninja-movie rejects; and wtf with some LOTR monster-types?! In addition, Xerxes was a S&M homosexual's wet dream -- he looked nothing like images that have survived from history. Also, a bit of a right-wing slant (Leonidas is fighting what Greek politicians call an illegal war and they are hesitant to send him reinforcements).

However, for the most part, a very engrossing story...and I'll give them this...those Spartans were bad a$$ mofos.
