Title: Bad movie...
Review: If you want to learn about history of the 300, get a hold of the 1962 version. I watched both of these movies in the same day. There is also a very good documentary about the 300, which I saw a few months ago (Sorry forget the name of it). While I thought some parts of the 1962 version were dated and cheesy. This version which I had high hopes for was horrible. It was kind of like they took lord of the rings and merged it with a historical story, sorry best way I can describe the look, feel, music and storyline. The results were a very poor movie. The strange radioactive mutant creatures that fought the Spartans were never explained, and very un-historical. Why were they in the movie? Also, king Xerxes looked like he was a Villain from a "Mad Max" movie rather than a Persian King. And the story line was laughable, stupid and very lame. It looks like Very little research was done on the setting, costumes, period music and much more.
Is the review positive or negative?
