I thought the movie was phenomonal.

While it was, as you said, only loosely (very loosely) based on the battle of Thermopylae, it was excellent. It was told like a Greek myth, with all the fantacism and exaggeration that entails. The special effects (with particular emphasis on the fighting) were so ridiculously over-the-top that it was actually very entertaining. It was like watching a live-action comic book. All in all, one of the best films I've seen in a long time.
