Artemisa Plot / Synopsis: ( Film opowiada o s³ynnej bitwie pod Termopilami z 480 r. p.n.e., w której ¿o³nierze greccy, g³ównie wojownicy ze Sparty dowodzeni przez Leonidasa, stawili czo³a olbrzymiej, prawie 20krotnie wiêkszej armii perskiej pod wodz¹ Kserksesa. Przyt³aczaj¹ca przewaga liczebna Persów oraz zdrada, sprawi³y i¿ Spartanie ponieœli klêskê, jednak¿e dziêki swojej odwadze i bohaterstwu opóŸnili marsz armii perskiej w kierunku greckich miast-pañstw. /filmweb/ ) Essentially true story of how Spartan king Leonidas led an extremely small army of Greek Soldiers (300 of them his personal body guards from Sparta) to hold off an invading Persian army more than 20 times as large. The actual heroism of those who stood (and ultimately died) with Leonidas helped shape the course of Western Civilization, allowing the Greek city states time to organize an army which repelled the Persians. Set in 480 BC. What is it about the tale of 300 Spartans holding off the whole of the Persian army that haunts us still? At some point they'll make the great version of this story, until that day comes this film will do nicely. The plot has the 300 Spartans going off with a small band of other Greeks to perform a delaying action in a narrow pass against the vastly superior Persian Army. They delay the Persians for several days before a final and terrible battle that assured them their place in history. The battle scenes are wonderful, as is pretty much everything in this film. The problem is that they've shoehorned a love story into this testosterone charge film to the point it distracts from the rest of the film, it just doesn't belong. Actually most of the early part of the film, before the troops move out is rather soapy. However once the troops march the film picks up, and other than the damned romance is fine film. If you enjoy a lot of blood and stupid tricks then watch "300". But, if you want something closer to what history really tells us happened at Thermopylae, then "The 300 Spartans" is what you want. I enjoyed the fact that they showed what both sides had in that time as far as weapons and tactics were concerned. They also kept the focus on the bravery of the Spartans, and that all of Greece not only wished them well, but could help, as with the Athenian fleet, not some CGI generated storm. This was also marked by good acting all around, from Richard Egan as Leonidas, and all the supporting cast. This movie is for those who crave real history, even if much of what occurred may be lost to the ages. The true story of the stand made by 300 Spartan soldiers against an entire army of invading Persians is given the Hollywood Cinemascope treatment here in a lushly mounted production featuring a solid if unspectacular cast. Second-string leading man Richard Egan stars as Leonidas, King of the Spartans, who marches his personal bodyguards to Thermopylae to repel the invading Persian hordes. He expects to be joined by the rest of the Spartan army but, when he is betrayed by a Council decision, he and his faithful soldiers decide to make a stand.
