300 - A Nut Review

300

Mrs Lee 3.5 Nuts / Mr Lee 3 Nuts

From the man who brought us the gritty comic book adaptation "Sin City", comes another adaptation of sorts - "300". Better titled "The 300 Six Packs", this movie brings to life the Battle of Thermopylae with a heavy dose of special effects, sex, testosterone, blood and guts and even a brief reference to history. ;)

Macho one-liners and glistening muscles are the story of the day here, as the brave army of 300 Spartans march to a predictable ending, against the monstrous (in some cases literally "monstrous") army of King Xerxes - who I am told is actually in the Bible. Hmmm.

In any case, the journey is not without entertainment, with several spectacular battle scenes (enhanced by special effects and a generous sprinkling of slow-mo segments) . The bits in between probably aren't worth mentioning, but however, are necessary in order to contrive some sort of plot; in my opinion they would be better off making the whole thing into a 15 minute action-music video... :p

One Liner from Mr Nut: "Yeah that's nothing - believe it or not, my stomach used to look like that back in the day." :p
