It was nice to see my intuition confirmed yet again last night; indeed, the reason why I hadn't heard of the film '300' before all my friends started raving about it is because it's not very good. Do we start by complaining about the beach that magically became a cliff? The longbows that could fire arrows about half a mile? The lengthy explanation that Spartans fight in a phalanx, only for that formation to be abandoned after a mere minute for almost the entire duration of the battle? How about the fact that most of the Persians seemed to be of African or South American origin? Or the cringeworthy speeches about fighting for liberty and freedom and the American way? The unnecessary sex scene? The dire lack of anything resembling a decent line of dialogue that wasn't taken straight from the legend anyway?

Nothing else to report.
