On 300: I actually enjoyed it for the amazing, fantastical beauty. It was very artistic and neat. Parts of it can only be comparable to movies like "The Cell" (yes, I'm that one person in this star system that enjoyed it)- with loads of beautifully shot/lighted/designed surreal scenes. This movie makes no claims about it's historical accuracy- and that makes it easier to enjoy. I was actually most irked by Gerard Butlers magical appearing/disappearing Scotish accent... That being said, you may need a shower afterwards; I felt absolutely soaked in the ambient testosterone.
