Downs :
- The problem doesnt stop with the script. Even the execution is very stupid, with absurd creatures, humongous bloodshed (graphic to the last drop) and even sillier characters
- You get a feeling that dialogues are written desperately to be dramatic and powerful but fail miserably to even keep you interested. Few like "Spartan women give birth to real men" "We will fight in the shade" etc. manage to tickle your funny bone
- There is no acting in the entire movie. Only screaming exhorts and pointless scenarios
Ups :
- Thankfully, the movie is over in just under 100 minutes...what a relief...
If you have seen LOTRs and Harry Porters and similar stuff, you must stay away from this one. A total bore.... Some novels are better left untouched...Hollywood must learn this. Ghostrider and 300 build a good case for it....

i agree...what a waste of CGI....no script and no acting to speak of.....
it looks straight out of a painters canvas but i only wish it was just that-a still canvas
The film is an effort to bring alive '300' - The Graphic Novel, by frank Miller. If you read the graphic novel, all its scenes and pictures have been brought alive by the movie in absolute faithfulness. So script or lack of it, and all the dialogues can be attributed to film-maker's decision to stick to the graphic novel.
that's why the comment above me speaks of it coming "straight out of a painters canvas"........
The best thing about 300 is that nobody has a normal opinion about it: either people are obsessed by the excellent CGI or (like you) not happy with the graphic picturization... May be even that is a compliment, huh! :)
