Another pathetic heroic movie

Rating: 2/10 (21 April 2007)

To my mind, the percentage goes like this: 80% pathos, 10% battles, 5% computer graphics, 5% plot. Although a heroic movie should be pathetic to some extent (like The Lord of the Rings, which I would call a good example of heroic movie), in this movie it was definitely too much unnecessary "we, the most powerful guys in the Universe" and "we, whose shoulders the fate of the world lies upon" content. As for the graphics - yes, good, stylishly combined colors, although again - meadows and trees could be less computerized. Plus during the whole movie I had to remind myself, that "300" is a graphic novel, not a claim of historical truth. It really helped taming the sarcasm down when seeing some brilliant historical nonsense. Anyway, if you like heroic movies or have a friend with good sense of humor, take him/her to the cinema with you and you will find out that the movie is quite entertaining. Enjoy your popcorn!
