’300′ is a fine spectacle for the eyes.
It’s based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel about 300 Spartans who stood against a million Persians descending upon them. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) makes every other guy on earth feels ashamed about their bodies.
This movie has a very hot though brief sex scene.
But the best part is the oracle dancing on air ever so smoothly.
it is made in such remarkable graphics and visual effects..
It is so violent yet so sexy.. we can appreciate how committed this film is to providing us with action sequences and a story that both male and some female audiences can cheer on.
Some of us are familiar with the history that this particular film is based on.
But basing it more on Frank Miller’s graphic novel adds the value of its entertainment.
no, this is not something you’d take your little cousins to… but it’s definitely fun to watch it with a gang of friends.
But the story sounds all too familiar… it sounds like a propaganda… it sounds a lot like what’s happening in the real world today..
keeping in mind that this month will be 4 years since Pres. Bush deployed U.S. troops to Iraq.
This month of March, it will be 4 years since this bloody war got started.
But let’s not compare King Leonidas to Pres. Bush, shall we?
because unlike Leonidas… you will never see Pres. Bush fighting on the frontline 
It’s pretty cool movie overall, but here are 3 of my bottomline objections:
1. The movie seems to advice the audience to support the war, and those who don’t, come out as traitor or unpatriotic, this movie’s political agenda, which is not even subtle, has a close timing to 4th anniversary of the war in Iraq.
2. it’s nothing original and by that I mean the fighting sequences are ‘The Matrix’-like kinda fighting.
3. It comes across as overly-dramatic, with all the speeches and all.
