"300" was a chest-thumping, homophobic, racist, steaming pile of revisionist bullshit. Sure, it's artistically pretty, sure the battle was thrilling -- but without honest content, what you have is a pig drenched in perfume. SO, yeah, if you're mindless, then you LOVE this movie. I for one, hated it. "300" was nothing more than 'Birth of a Nation' dressed up nice and pretty so that white people could feel good about watching it.
