"300" by Yojimbo

When the corrupt oracles rule that Sparta should not be defended against the oncoming Persian army, King Leonidas leads an army of 300 warriors to defend their lands. In other words a dozen male strippers hack away in slow motion at a collection of CGI circus freaks and a giant drag queen for two solid hours. And that's it. Plot development? Nope. Characterisation? Nada. Meaningful dialogue? Zip. If anything, 300 is like a historical Ultraviolet, except instead of plastic sci fi cliches spouting techno-gibberish it just resembles a collection of Bill and Ted's album covers brought to life linked by a load of macho posturing in cod Olde Worlde speak. It's an adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel so there is some nice imagery and well framed shots in deference to his vision, but I don'...

Reccomend

This movie suffers the unfortunate fate of being too popular in that, like scar face and taxi driver before it the lines and scenes have become go ingrained into pop culture that the original movie seems itself cliche and played out. But on the up side, things like that really do only happen when something is so good every one and their mother wants to parody it.

Combining history, action and CGI in the ways only a top blockbuster action would was really a first. Though the truth of the story is quite stretched it's still a fairly epic tale. I could certainly recommend the watch to anyone who wasn't already warped by the amount of parody done o...

300 Review

This movie is probably my favorite movie of all time. It's a greek hertiage and i'm greek so it's that much more great in my opinon. Gerard Butler did amazing tour de force performance from him his best so far in the movie business. All the other cast members did great made the movie much more better but Gerard Butler carried this movie on his shoulders across the finish line to perfection. It's one of the greatest if not the greastest war film out there it shows you to never back down, never give up and fight like men. That's how it should be. I loved every second of this film. It's top notch the scenary is amazing and the war scenes are incredible. If you like war films this movie is for you. It may feel unrealistic to some but it's based so long ago how do we know what the world was th...
