Well, I don’t care what anyone else says, 300 gets 300 dead Spartan thumbs up from me. I saw it twice. If I’m going to pay $14 to see a film projected on a giant wall, I expect some serious spectacle, and this movie definitely delivered. I’m also partial to historical dramas, particularly wildly over-the-top and inaccurate ones. In fact, I kind of dislike plausibility in any form. I prefer stories that create their own twisted reality, the less literal similarity to this one the better. I also can’t help feeling that people who are criticizing the movie for its dumbness or politics are not in on the joke. Of course, I may just have a special affinity for this material seeing as I too was raised from an early age to be a wolf-slaying, rhinocerous-gouging badass with an incredible chest.
