300 Cheers

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2014)

I guess I could sit here and poke holes in historical inaccuraciesoh waitpeople already did. So I won't even bother. Instead, let me enlighten the masses with this tidbit – Hollywood + History = Fairytale. Hollywood is very good when ginning out entertainment – they tend to suck when they want to throw in some goofy message. Directors and producers can really screw projects up when they turn their backs on common sense and bend excellent stories into pontificating sagas, fitting their particular ideologies. I hate it when they do that. I don't know why they do it maybe they have some perverted need to attempt to sway audiences. Regarding the '300' thank you common sense for prevailing. This movie does one thing - it entertains – GREAT. And what a spectacular job at entertaining. Swords and blood and screaming and battle scenesand is there anything else needed? Oh yeah there is some silly side-story about Thermopile – meh. Trivial. Come on, that is old news gang. This flick is better than most (bite my tongue) John Wayne shoot-'em-ups. I did say I would have spoilers – soooo – let me throw one out there. The story in a nutshell: 300 really good Spartan Warriors go out and kick butt against one billion bad guysand don't live happily ever aftersound good? Sure. Anyways – fun movie – and always worthy a repeat on my TV.
