Just saw 300, on a scale from1-3 I rate it a turd. First there's all these spartans
with six packs and banana hammocks,this stinker had more packages than "fed-ex".
Most if not all cogent facts about Thermopolae were discarded outright. Even the FX shots are goofed. In a bloody hand to hand scene, limbs are removed like loaves of bologna, blood spurts look like beans flung from a spoon, and as the bodies pile up the sand beneath remains as clean as a "zen gardens". The scene of the oracle is a mostly nude cutey, who's appearance is almost worth the price of admission, even this is wrong, as she looks to be holding her breath,(She is, to effect the trance like miasma, shot under water and digitally imaged into the scene.)sloppy film making indeed. When it comes to CG I don't get it, if you're going to rely on it so much why bother with actors at all. Attacking rhinos that look like enraged, one horned bean bag chairs, a Xerces who must be a goth club reject, is all a little much. I think folks who preferred the high intensity shoot up trans sonic "Zero's" of "Pearl harbor" over the historically reasonable "Tora, tora, tora.",may want to see it. Yet as i left the theater, it occurred to me, that another verticle slash added to 300 logo would spell BOO!. My sentiment exactly.
