What was that?

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2007)

I don't understand the hype about the new title "300". The movie was terrible is it's entirety. To have 300 on IMDb top 250 is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. The movie had nothing to offer other than great special effects and crazy fight scenes. The movie was as follows,(and the fact some will see the movie for this is sad) Its Sex, and bloody combat. THAT'S IT! I cared nothing for Sparta at all or any of the Spartans. The battle was so rushed I could care less if Greece burned to the ground. The main problem I had was the lack of Character development and lack of plot development. Within 15 minutes we're rushed to a battle field that within another 15 minutes will be covered in blood and the dead Spartans THAT I Don't CARE ABOUT. All in all the best of this movie might just be that Greek helmets look awesome and slow motion can make a fight scene (kinda) work. The left much to be desired. They attempted to leave us with a Braveheart sort of ending and failed. After about 2 hours watching this I had to ask myself "Am I supposed to care if anybody died?" Another thing that was wrong with this movie, The battle was on and then we'd switch to some political scene with the Queen of Sparta being raped! WHAT THE! At the end I just wanted to leave the room. At least I wanted to see the Persians loose but no! WE DIDN'T because we wasted the screen time wit Blood and worthless violence. This movie did the impossible, It Glorified WAR! Every war or epic has done the opposite. We saw men laughing and joking when surrounded by 1000s of dead men. And if anyone says "Thats how Spartans are raised." then I slap you for trying to dig deeper into this crappy movie. No person can go through that and not be affected, look at WW2 veterans, the few that live today are shell shocked and traumatized by the battles they suffered through. If you enjoyed this movie, I couldn't see why. I give this a 4 out of 10 (4/10) simply because this movie is Sick and is meant only to demoralize the movie going public. If anything this is a step back in movie making history.
