You've got to be joking!

Rating: 4/10 (29 March 2007)

Or maybe I should sum-up this film by simply saying... What? I'm not going to tell you not to like this film, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but these are the 2 main reasons as to why I was very disappointed.
1 - Almost no story whatsoever, all I knew by watching this film was that 1 small army was going to fight 1 huge army (or several armies), and I didn't care for any of them because of the lack of story.
2 - Next to no character development *SLIGHT SPOILER* just because you see a man has a wife and child at the beginning of the story, and that is all the screen time they have together *END SPOILER*, that does not make for a good character. So back to my point above, I did not care for any of the characters in the film.
I felt there was no beginning or end, the only decent part of the film was some of the action scenes in the middle - although many of the scenes were what I would call "stupid." Most has been done before, and a lot of the action seemed redundant. Pick 1 film from Lord of the Rings, Troy, Gladiator, Braveheart etc, and it would be very hard to pick out original action scenes in 300.
So basically, there's some decent fight/gore scenes in the middle of the film, but I felt the beginning and end were almost non-existent, and as already mentioned, there was next to no story or character development.
