- JesseJune 3, 2025Oh man, I hadn't watched this in at least a decade. I will say, as cheesy as it is, it's a great turn your brain off and watch buff dudes relocate blood and limbs in slow motion. Possibly the Citizen Kane of it in fact.
- HaHaHarvey44May 8, 2025300 is less a movie and more a testosterone-fueled fever dream... like if a history class was taught by a bodybuilder on pre-workout and rage. Zack Snyder delivers two hours of oiled abs, slow-motion murder, and speeches shouted with the subtlety of a Spartan sword to the chest. It’s historically accurate in the same way pro wrestling is an Olympic sport, but who cares? Gerard Butler growls every line like he’s gargling gravel, and the visuals are drenched in so much CGI and sepia it looks like the entire film was shot inside a protein powder factory. Subtle? No. Profound? God, no. Entertaining? Absolutely, if your brain’s had a few beers first. It’s dumb, loud, glorious nonsense.
