300, This is madness!!

Rating: 3/10 (17 April 2007)

I was one of those people that were anticipating the release of 300. After watching the trailer I was enthralled by what appeared to be the most aesthetically pleasing films of my time.
And boy was it ever; each shot is crafted to perfection giving the whole graphic novel feel to the film. But it wasn't enough; this absolute worthless rubbish storyline is not made up for by the outstanding visuals seen on screen.
The story doesn't provide any sort audience engagement, rather just a bloodbath of Persian warriors. As I was watching the film, I expected that the fight scene should be choreographed well, but they were not. The use of CGI, and slow motion was overdone and it took the feel of an epic battle.
The final thing that I have to say about this movie is, King Leonidas' voice, it is far to Epic, he shouts the majority of his lines in a very cliché manner.
As my final thoughts, if you want to see a visually pleasing action movie, with blood effects that looked like they came out of Counter Strike, then watch this movie. But if you are like me and want something movie intellectual from this movie don't watch it. You will be sitting there thinking "This is madness"
