Movie Reviews of The 300 Spartans

Movie Review: The Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC)
Summary: 5 Stars

There is a monument at the site of the battle, with Simonide's epigram to the Spartans; translated it reads: "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie". This is an exciting movie about the epic Battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans and the Spartan king Leonidas died fighting an overwhelming force of Persians. Whereas technical inaccuracies may be cited, it is still a great movie. Richard Egan turns in a grand performance.

Movie Review: not quite truthful
Summary: 5 Stars

Okay. So the actual truth was a little different. But in 61 the kids loved it and as one of the so called epics it wasn't bad. Now some years later it still brings out that feeling of the few against the many, while the Spartans didn't win the battle they in effect won the war.
Good simple stuff sadly long missed in todays cinema.

Movie Review: Greatest War Epic of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars

Not only is this a true story , but the story itself is one that even Hollywood can not copy. Davis vs Goliath at its best- the DVD quality is quite good for something that was never released previously. The world can only learn from the Spartan warriors as there will never be another race like them again.
