Abs, pecs and yawns

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2007)

300 does exactly what is sets out to do  create a caricatured, stereotyped, "epic" adventure with lots of brave heroes, evil villains and spectacular violence. What little story there is can be predicted with leaden certainty after about 10 minutes of screen time. The clichés come thick and fast and the normally-serious-hero-turns-to-camera-and-makes-witty-comment moments are never far away.
If you see 300, do not expect any cerebral stimulation, but if you enjoy RPG, leave out all the vowels when txtng and believe that your underpants should sit higher on your waist than your ever-so-baggy-jeans, this might be just the movie for you.
