300 Review

I give 300 a B. It's worth a watch. Really. But it's not for those that dont like gore, blood, and violence. So, if you see it, be prepared. And, if you are prepared and know what you are getting into,  you may just like it.

300 recounts the 480 B.C.'s Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans took a stand against the invading Persian hordes. Led by King Leonidis they fend off legions of very freaky attackers-- which get worse and worse as time passes. While nearly the entire 2 hours focus on fighting, you find yourself cheering for these 300 heroic men that support their belief systems and want to defend their land.

There is also a subplot involving the political issues of being a woman back in Sparta-- led by Leonidis's Queen. As a woman, I appreciated that subplot and was happy with how it all played out.

Again, worth a see in my book.
