Gladiator, one of the best epic movie of all time, Oscar award winning along with many many other awards. Crowe, Phoenix and some old screen legends. Gory battles, large and small scale battles and great award winning acting all round.

 

300, Some of the goriest battle scenes ever, Great peformances which will probably launch some careers further, Huge battles and unbeleivable atmosphere and sound.

 

So which is it

300 was awesome, but Gladiator is just epic. My vote goes to Gladiator.

I like them both the same. Gladiator is probably one of the greatest movies of all time, with story and action combined. 300 has the greatest action scenes I have ever seen.

300 was a good movie and very appropriate for an IMAX screen. However, I think Gladiator is still the better movie.

Gladiator vs 300? That's not a fair comparison. Gladiator is one of the top 5 movies of this decade. 300 doesn't come close. Gladiator has better story, better acting, better cinematography...better everything.

gladiator just had an overall better story... and it told it better. it was much more epic, and the academy recognized that when it won best picture in 2000(?). The 300, while highly entertaning, just doesn't have the same level of epicness that Gladiator has

Sure...it had better fight scenes. Doesn't matter. The movie lacked in many other areas, whereas, Gladiator didn't. Pretty fight scenes don't make a war movie great. Just look at Lawrence of Arabia, for example. (Lawrence of Arabia may be better than these 2 movies combined too)

I over all really hated gladiator it did not deliver what I wanted form its battle scenes were pretty much the trailors they showed for it and the realy I thought was dumb sorry but I don;t think it was even close to be calling it an epic.

Do you look for anything in a movie, aside from battle scenes? Did you even follow the story in Gladiator?

 

Or did you just sit there in the movie theater waiting for someone's head to get cut off?

No I look at other things I just thought its not good at all really like people make it out to be.

And its wrong to put these two together the 300 main things is supposed to be its fight scenes unlike gladiator which they focus on other things.

OK...that's fine. But it's still outclasses 300 by far.

No I don't tihnk so lets agree to disagree

Plus 300 is focues on its fighting scene not really on the plot back at sparta they were really going for the whole fighting  tihng unlike gladiator so I don't think it's right to compare the two.

Wow, that's actually a pretty nice connection. I felty the same way, in fact, I'm amazed that a movie made 7 years later (think it's around there) still can't beat Gladiator's action scenes, or it's direction. Better script for Gladiator as well.

What the hell!? A movie is supposed to tell a story. Action is something that moves the story along, and can be part of it. If you're not looking for a story in your films, you might as well just watch music vidoes all day.

Quite honestly Gladiator is one of if not my single favorite movies so far. IMO it just got everything right, direction, action, story, acting, etc. Whereas 300 is just a popcorn movie, all action little plot.
