Tonight we dine in mediocrity!!!

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2007)

Sweaty men stripped to the waist, screaming and howling men running to war, and bloody naked corpses. This is basically what '300' is about.
The film is based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, who also was the man who wrote the Sin City novel. The visuals in '300' are stunning, raw and brutal, and the actual reason why '300' doesn't end up as another ordinary action film. There isn't much of story besides 300 Spartans, lead by King Leonidas, going to war against Xerxes and his massive Persian army Â– and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
But it doesn't make the film especially good, or as superior as the spell-binding 'Sin City'. The story is almost non-existing, but it's nevertheless enjoyable up to a certain point, caused by the fascinating visuals. But as the film goes along, it gets tiring to watch, because it is in desperate need of some story related activity.
'300' is men running amok in loincloths, fighting and battling their asses off.
