Great looking movie that succeeds simply with coolness

Rating: 6/10 (21 September 2010)

What a strange and at the same time fascinating movie... I never was a fan of movies without any sense, movies that just want to be "cool". And so I expected the worst from 300. But I was somewhat surprised when I saw it. First you must know: if you are someone, who hates movies with stupid plots really hard, then you won't like 300. But if you are someone, who also gives such movies a chance, you should watch it. 300 has no story with surprising twists, dramatic highlights or something like that. 300 is simply a comic-style-war-movie. But unlike similar works like "King Arthur" oder "Troy", which somehow failed because they were stupid and had no style, 300 manages to be incredibly cool in dialogs and visual appearance. In fact, this is the only movie that wins by looking great, and nothing else.
I can understand, that many people don't like the movie, but if you give the art of how it appears a chance, you may like it.
