Liked it very much! I was happy to see that there were very few cringe-moments (if any). The comic-book style popularised in Sin City was also very well done in 300. The nod to Playstation-game God of War with the spraying of blood and use of slow/fast-motion was also felt (and appreciated).
Historical accuracy was never an ideal in this movie, and I have no problems with that. It might also inspire people who might not otherwise do so, to read up on greek history in order to get a better idea of what really happened.
The style, cinematography, story and pacing of the movie was so impressive that they eclipse those elements that were less great. Examples include a simplified story, 1-dimensional characters, alleged elements of racism, fascism and homophobia.
Will become part of my dvd collection in the near future.
