The sides of 300

  • Three hundred Spartans against an empire
  • Slow-motion battles like paintings
  • This is Sparta

300 is good for you if…

  • you like a film that looks like a comic book in motion.
  • you like battles in slow motion with rivers of blood.
  • you like speeches about honour and glory.

300 is bad for you if…

  • stylised gore everywhere ruins it for you.
  • you'd rather not see sex scenes, or you're watching with others. There's a naked oracle and an orgy in Xerxes's tent.
