A movie about bad asses. That'really about it. I get that many are digging for this film.

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2007)

Alright, I watched '300' with a high medium expectation. This was not a great movie for sure. I don't know in which part other people are finding to praise about.
To begin with, I have a problem with a script. As many might know, the story is loosely based on a historical event that 300 Spartan soldiers fought against Persian armies till death. Sounds like an interesting story but I felt quite bored with the story telling in this film. There is no twist, no suspense, no tension between characters. This film has one and only goal which is to show audiences how Spartans fought their asses off against seemingly endless Persians.
Alright so I think the story sucks. Obviously, this is supposed to be an action movie. Then, does this film provide spectacular fighting scenes? Yeah, sort of but it's not that impressive. Haven't we seen all these in 'Gladiator' and 'Lord of the rings I II III'? I really got bored after watching some blood and every part of body flying around. Oh boy, I haven't seen that much blood in a film. If you are a gore movie fan, you might like this movie. ;)
Although there was not much room for acting in this full of fighting movie, the convincing performance of Spartan king was probably the only thing that I liked about this film.
I can see so much potential for this story to be successful but the director failed to put all the necessary ingredients together.
I can understand that a lot of guys will be sucking for '300' because this is quite a macho story. But please don't use big words like 'groundbreaking' or 'breathtaking' for this mediocre film. I mean. Seriously. If you like it, just say why you like it. Don't talk like you know something.
It's painful for me to see this film in TOP 250.
