I'll be honest here. I've never seen 300.

The main plot is, but the whole thing is riddled with historical inaccuracies.

youve seen the ending


Essentially that was what happened in the real thing. The Persians were soundly trashed on land and at sea, which ended the war. The end. 300 was meant as a historical film, any sequel just for the sake of action or bloodshed is just a distasteful idea.

you can't really make a sequal for something that actually happened. the basic story was based on the true story, but the facts and details were a little of haha. still a good movie though.

300 selectively idealizes Spartan society in a &quotroblematic and disturbing" fashion, as well as portraying the "hundred nations of the Persians" as monsters and non-Spartan Greeks as weak; whilst in fact the Persians were a highly developed and sophisticated civilization.

It further forgets to mention 7000 Greek allies present at the battle, that Leonidas was already 60 years old by the time of the Battle instead of being a young strapping male, that Leonidas did not throw the Persian emissaries down the well ( Occurred 15 years later, in 491BC). It further mutilates the actual Spartan military doctrine which was to never break out of a phalanx formation, and it also removed key parts of a Spartan soldier's equipment, namely his breastplate.

It wasn't a major part of the story, but part of the action scenes which they acknowledged they embellished a hell lot.

Uhhh, hey if 300 will have a second part you forgot one little loophole:
Leonidas is dead in the movie.

Leonidas is dead in the movie.


That doesn't make a difference since he just wants to see him avenged. The problem is, they already did that at the end of 300. Anyway, the movie didn't centre around Leonidas as much as it did on the other 300 Spartans.

He already did. The Spartans didn't mobilise entire when they sent 300 men to the fight (The case in real life was because the Spartans were in the midst of celebrating a sacred festival). The Greeks as a whole managed to destroy the Persian fleet at Salamis cutting them off from retreating and destroyed their entire army in a series of battles.

I think you've got it backwards. A bigger BC means farther back. The battle was in 480BC so he did throw them down when the first invasion began (just before the battle of Marathon).

My bad, that was such an anachronistic mistake.
