300 was a mildly interesting epic to me

Rating: 5/10 (10 March 2007)

In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit I fell asleep during some of the battle scenes (or maybe during the preparation of said scenes). I did stay alert when the son of one of the soldiers was killed. The scenes I really loved, however, were the ones with the mother queen, Lena Headey, especially when a political rival of her husband's made a deal with her for his support of her views during the next day's council meeting in exchange for his sexually violating her. You'll have to see the movie to watch the twist ending. Since the film was almost over by then, I was only mildly entertained but if you love historical, or maybe legendary would be the better description here, epics, 300 may be what you're looking for.
