Though I like the ideology, I really, really, REALLY hated this movie.

They took one of the biggest, badass battles of all time and turned it into a clown show.

It would be like showing the invasion of Normandy, and instead of German defenders, the allies are fighting nine foot tall hermophrodites and mutants with crab hands.

Have you seen German porn lately? That description isn't too far off.....

The thing about 300 is it was an adaptation of a graphic novel, a la Sin City, also by Frank Miller. So it really does come down to a game of telephone, where each retranslation FUBARs it a little more. OF course, anything Hollyweird touches is going to get the bullshit treatment to some extent.

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

You could have used "Gates of Fire" as the source, and had one hell of a film.
