I fell asleep 30 minutes in. Switched to watching while exercising. It made me quit exercising. Two weeks later, finally finished watching.

The animation was interesting for the first few minutes. Then the shallow story line dominated. The muscles and the animation were the only well-developed parts of this movie.

On one hand 300 is a movie worth seeing, if anything because – at least in my case – your guy friends will stop asking you if you’ve seen it yet. Haha, well, it’s also nice to see some extensive use of CGI that actually looks good as opposed to looking like The Matrix Reloaded.

On the other hand, there’s nothing really special about 300 other than that. Essentially it’s an entertaining ‘popcorn’ flick about a bunch of buff guys in their underwear yelling and fighting. There’s something else about corruption and such, but it’s easily forgotten amongst what is essentially the longest battle scene ever. It’s hard to find anything really deep in 300, other than some kind of wacked out sense of patriotism and some homoerotic undertones (funny how frat boys seem to love this movie in that case).

Still, if you like blood, brawny men duking it out, nipples, and way too much slow-motion, by all means go watch 300.
