Seen '300' and own the comic books. This is a comic book movie - a subject I probably know better about than most posters on here seeing as I hold thousands of books like that in my collection. So I find it amusing we are talking about '300' as if it merits a history review - as if it has a proper history lesson to tell.
Discussing history over '300' would be like arguing about WW2 via Captain America comics.

You missed the point. I just wanted to make sure you saw the movie before you offered your opinion of it.

I am eagerly awaiting it and am sure I'll enjoy it, but it is sickening that I know too many who assume it is 100% correct and that they have no need to read Herodatus, etc.

Sgt.Rock and the Unknown Solider are both cooler than Capt.America.
