300: 8 out of 10.

Now that was fun. I finally saw 300 so I can now participate in popular culture exchanges that were fresh 12 months ago.

300 wasn't just a great tale about King Leonidas and a force of 300 men who fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., it's also a fantastic looking flick. You could mute the volume on this sucker and still enjoy the hell out of it.

King Leonidas has given me a new battle cry to complement my Braveheart arsenal. "My children, gather round! No retreat, no surrender; that is Spartan law. And by Spartan law we will stand and fight... and die. A new age has begun. An age of freedom, and all will know, that 300 Spartans gave their last breaths to defend it!"
