300! Are you kidding?

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2008)

I've seen lots of sci-fi movies that mix some part of reality with some unbelievable but well-made action scenes to sell. I don't have any problem with that. That's how this industry works. My problem is that how the director of this movie (a guy who became a history expert out of nowhere) tries to portrait the people of Eastern world as giants and animals. DON'T TELL ME THAT IT'S JUST A MOVIE, for God's sakes. I read the director's interview in which he claims that even historians were surprised how historically accurate the movie was. IS IT NOT IRONIC THAT IN THE UNITED STATES, IT IS QUITE OK THAT THE MOST Pathetic CHARACTERS IN A MOVIE ARE SHOWN AS RETARDED PEOPLE, GAYS, AND ARABS? But thanks God the movie is not technically that good to be remembered. I bet you after 10 years the clips of this movie will be used for men's underwear commercials.
spoiler: the leader of Spartans climbs the mountain to watch a naked girl (who is high on drugs by the way) dancing and gives money to some creepy ugly creatures. Then the narrator (the blind survivor) says that the leader was not happy with what he did but it was the rule and he was committed to obey the rules. Right!
