Phenomenally, spectacularly awful

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2007)

Wow! What a disappointment. The story of the battle at Thermopylae was one of my childhood inspirations; I am a long-standing graphic novel fan; and I love highly stylized movies (recently Sin City and V for Vendetta in particular). But 300 was simply awful. Truly, madly, deeply awful.
Save yourself some money on the cinema ticket; save yourself some money on buying or renting the DVD; save yourself some money watching it on pay TV; wait for it to come out on free-to-air TV in 3 years or so. Even then, watch it only if you are house-bound and have NOTHING else to watch.
