A Major Disappointment!

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2007)

A bloody confrontation that lasted two hours: the brave Spartans held back the great Persian army for the sake of duty, honor and glory.
After Sin City, I thought I was in for another graphical treat, but the result is far from it. The movie is practically based on slow motion takes and High pitch Gothic chants in the background, making every move of our 300 warriors Epic-like swings.
The movie is based on a linear culmination of violence starting with the enemy's infantry and ending with mutants from hell. The creatures effects there are not even bizarre, just out of place.
The cinematography and screen effects are nice, but far from striking. I had hoped for any kind of wit in this supposedly epic recount of the battle, but i was left with nothing but casualties of war when the credits rolled.
