IMDb plot summary: King Leonidas of Sparta and a force of 300 men fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
Directed by Zack Snyder. Starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, and David Wenham.
This movie is so, so ridiculous. I was probably not supposed to be giggling as much as I did at the awful, cheesy dialogue, but every time these characters opened their mouths it was pretty hilarious. I'm a little bummed that the movie used its stunning cinematography and colors and framing just to show us a bunch of heads getting chopped off. It's a very beautiful-looking movie that is a boring story told strangely.
3 stars.
