An impressive but pointless collection of slow-motion battles

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2016)

This is a pointless movie. It serves no purpose other than to showcase a string of over the top slow-motion battles. There's no real story or plot to speak of, '300' is just an overload of CGI and special effects crammed in just for the sake of it. It's like they discovered what they could do with modern technology and decided to make a movie out of it.
Granted, the battle scenes are impressive, but that's the least I expected. Another thing I expected and certainly got was the overload of stereotypes and clichés - it certainly isn't short of lines that will have you rolling your eyes. Though this does (unintentionally) provide some entertainment.
'300' seems to have gone down well with a lot of people and I can understand why. There's plenty of action to keep the viewer satisfied, but unfortunately it lacks much else.
