300

What would you say if you watch a movie that is filled with senseless killing, gallons of blood spraying, human's limbs flying around and bland storyline?
Yes, it is great!
That’s what the movie 300 is all about.
But you only say that the movie is great if you are a man. A woman (my wife, for example) still doesn't understand why this movie is made. Maybe if they put Justin Timberlake there, it would be easier for women to understand.
300 tells a story of 300 Spartan soldiers who did not understand the function of clothes and running around only with a cape that looked like it was stolen from Superman. That’s why when millions of Persian army attacked the village, the 300 Spartan decided to fight them to the death, because they figured it's a better thing to do than freezing to death.

So it's basically a story about the courage of the soldiers. The whole movie shows how bloody the war goes and how crazy the Spartans are. These are the kind of crazy people who take piercing their tongue as a hobby. But that was the kind of insanity that cost the Persian thousands of lives, although at the end the 300 were dead (oops, spoiler). So it was a happy ending after all, sort of.

The story of the movie is based on a real life event that happened in a comic book and so the graphic of the movie often looks like a painting, which is kinda cool.
So, I recommend this movie to all of you comic lovers, unless if you are a woman.
