Awful In Every Sense

Rating: 1/10 (9 August 2015)

If you look for a really horrific movie that contains all the possible features of a miserable flop, then 300 is your sure choice. It has every possible goof, mistake, anachronism, idiocy, stupidity, silliness or plain foolishness. If you are a history buff, avid this film at all costs. It has nothing to do with either Spartan history, or Persian military system. This movie is badly colored, dark, extremely humorless, awfully deadpan, pathetic, too far serious, too bombastic. And the dialogs! Oh, them. Imagine several too laughingly over-muscular macho men uttering high-blown words out of proportion, all of them far too pompous and huge, and you get it. All is bad here, and poor Persian king is a mere unimaginable caricature of some hilarious outlook and modern piercing galore. Oh my, history suffers here a lot too much. Even for laughs this movie will not do - Gerard Butler along with Heady, Wenham, and other actors looks funny and never convincing enough to induce any feeling of sympathy or interest. Trash this utter junk.
