Preposterous Hollywood 'adaptation' of an old myth?
CHECK
Character development as nonexistent as the hero's wardrobe?
CHECK
CGI-looking male bodies with chiseled abs?
CHECK
Rampant homoeroticism, phallic substitutes & gratuitous nudity?
CHECK
Breathtaking visuals and expertly choreographed battles?
CHECK!
Sub-par storytelling that relentlessly aims for a PG-13 male demographic?
CHECK
"THIS... IS... SPARTA!"
"I... AM... BEOWULF!"

Please tell me you were supporting Neil Gaiman!!!!
And another 300 connection-Gerard Butler was in the Canadian/Icelandic/British Beowulf & Grendel movie no one saw.
[lolz]
Except Thermopylae wasn't a myth.
And 300 is awesome.
:D
J.D.:
Just because it "historically" happened (and what does that mean, exactly?) it doesn't mean it is not a "myth" -especially when the movie is based on a graphic novel and NOT on the historical event.
