Friends, geeks, film lovers, lend me your ears;
I come to bury 300, not to praise it;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with 300 ... The noble reviewers
Hath told you 300 was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath 300 answered it ...
Here, under leave of The Hollywood Reporter and the rest,
(For The Hollywood Reporteris an honorable site;
So are they all; all honorable reviewers)
Come I to speak of 300's stupidity ...
It was a stupid and mindless film to me:
But reviewers says it was ambitious;
And reviewers are honorable folks....
300 hath brought many near naked men to the screen,
Whose claim was that they were Greek:
Did this in 300 seem ambitious?
When that women have cried that adventure was boring?
Ambition should be made of manly stuff:
Yet reviewers say that 300 was ambitious;
And reviewers are honorable writers.
You all did see that on the screen
The story teller did talk like a pirate,
Which he did lose an eye to look like one too?
Yet reviewers say 300 was ambitious;
And, sure, all reviewers are honorable people.
I speak not to disprove what reviewers spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love 300, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to say it was stupid?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish scenes,
And film lovers have lost their reason.... Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin where 300 should be,
And I must never watch this movie again.
