>>>Better than Gladiator

How so?

Gladiator was a great movie and had characters that were developed. A great movie is more than spectacular fight scenes (and in 300 they were spectacular indeed). Also, where were the chest guards? And, weren't the leg guards only worn on the left leg (the forward one in a phalanx). Also, did the Greeks have such long swords? I thought theirs were quite short (maybe 14 inches of bronze).

Both movies were great. I think 300 will be remembered as the first video game type of movie. It included great action in a fast moving plot. Maybe we could say it was "bloody good."
