Dude. Did you even see the movie? Apparently not, because the 300 lost the battle and won the war there there, too.

Plus, the move was absolutely awesome if not 100% accurate in every detail.

There were actually 1,300 defenders. 1,000 plus the 300 Spartans. I haven't seen the movie but historical accuracy isn't Hollywood's forte.

From the commercials I have seen of the movie trailer the Spartans look a bit like professional wrestlers and not the elite special forces that they were.
