300 IMO was way overrated not so much as say, Halo is but close. My roommate was drooling over it for weeks before it came out, he described it to me and I thought it wouldn't be so bad...

I eventually went to see it and I ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP, it is the only movie I have ever done that for in theaters! It wasn't for long, but the whole story was so poorly done. And boy, were the sex scenes awful in almost every way. There were those prophets where all I can say is "GROSS!" Then there was the whole "I'm leaving so lets have sex" that was so tacky (although they clearly tried to make it sensual and artistic). It seems fairly obvious they were trying to deflect the whole "Homo-vibe" of the rest of the movie. Even the "action" was far to over-the-top with crazy mythological beasts running everywhere and people with hundreds of different fighting styles being beaten by "the guys". Also the original story had slightly different odds too from what I've read/been described, the story had something like 300 vs 3000 (not entirely sure maybe 1 more 0) but the movie had 300 (eventually like 30) Vs a "bajillion-galiion" warriors and monsters... It's sickening how this movie gets reactions like people just blew their loads for it...

It has also got to the point where hearing "This is Sparta" makes me wanna stab pencils in my ears (It was funny for a short while but then...)
