Review of 300

300 (2006)
1/10
Strictly for piddle diddlers
11 April 2012
Mystery Science Theatre would do this film up right. After 15 minutes I was wisecracking to my companion ("that looks like a three-pointer right there" "Maybe it's Maybelline . . . ").

This film is so stupid on so many levels. Strictly for fanboys diddling themselves in mommy's basement. It's a ridiculous movie with an absolutely dreadful script (get this: Leonidas' wife ACTUALLY says the words "freedom isn't free"). They could disguise the pro-war pro-death rabid foam-at-the-mouth militarism a little better, but do they care? No.

Trust me--watch the movie with your hilarity settings on full. If you try to take it seriously, it will insult your intelligence. It's best to give a thigh-slapping laugh at its innumerable inanities, its leaden self-seriousness, and the utter idiocy of the lines the characters mouth. Not to mention its weird homoeroticism/homophobia.
