Lots of effects, but that's about it

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2012)

300 tells you a little about Spartans and how they are selected and trained as warriors. King Leonidas takes 300 of the best warriors to fight the Persians supposedly against the wishes of the Oracle.
There is no character arc and little story at all. It's war with lots of visual and sound effects of slicing, dicing, and blood splatter. There were some scenes that I found disturbingly weird like the Persian king's harem tent.
If you're into movies for special effects, you might like it. If you like movies for the characters and storyline, you probably won't. I personally would not recommend this to my friends.
