ok as the title states i watched that show with my classmates on the 13th march. i would love to say it today but it wouldnt make sense, duh.

here's my review for the movie:

1) its not as gory as it sounds. maybe its just me, but i really felt all the blood just looked flashy and too animated for show. so thats like a low violence rating for me. but if u dun think that way, then yes u can say its gory.

then again its seriously an understatement! urggghhhh there are tons of shows who look more gory then this. nvr mind.

2) the enemy just gets uglier and uglier. first it was a few hundred fully wrapped mummies in maybe silk waving flashy swords that never kill in the movie, then came a ex-spartan aka hunchback of sparta complete with boils asking to join the king(later he joined the persians anyway). then came along the persian king's "elite" that wore masks that look like ancient china tribes (cant remember the name, the comic "the celestial zone" featured them before). anyway of course they were elites and killed a few spartan soldiers, like their names say. among the elites, they brought in this human/monster that is seriously mutated and acts like a beast with primal instincts. he looks like a tall goblin or something and waves an axe at the king. later there was a cutscene in the persian camp where the king was so infuriated with his losses he ordered the decapitation of his underlings.

the only interesting thing was that someone well known in the gaming world made a special appearance in the movie! guess what, the king's excutioner looks like pudge(from dota); fat, ugly, and one melted pile of greyish skin with bloody weapons. wonder how much 300's producers paid to blizzard to get him on screen(just joking).

3) the show lacks plot. i duno. i like shows with plots, its nicer. i know that the movie is all about the glory of spartan warriors fighting in battle and e genius of the spartan king, but i dun really see any smart moves that were featured during the war. just "we were trained from young to fight like !@#$ and its ingrained into our very body and etc", "we die for our country" and more... but the show must go on!

critics aside, the movie's peppered with a few funny dialogues when the enemy attempts to get him to surrender. it gets sad at times. and its amazing how the king never gets hit by the arrows when he aims the spear at the persian king. ah well. u cant expect everything to be like reality in a movie.
