Enjoyable film, but I wouldn't go so far as to say good. Certainly, you'll enjoy it more if you don't know what happened at Thermopylae (or even that it happened) and can turn a blind eye to some rather black and white racial and social stereotyping. It's quite obvious it was never intended as a satire or commentary on Europe versus the Middle East, and it has lots of gory action and limbs getting severed.

Don't really know what the American problem is with homosexuality is, either. Can they not accept that men who liked bumming were also good warriors?

Gerard Butler needs to rein his Scots accent in a bit, and the narrator is too sinister/kiddy-fiddlerish, but a decent flick all the same.
