What I didn't like about 300 was Xerxes being... whatever the fuck he was... with chains and jewelry and having that voice... and the general total abandoment of reality for stimulating imagery. The darkness I loathed... I don't enjoy watching two hours of dark, dreary scenery. Furthermore, in ancient Greece, all the Spartans have glistening, ripped, smooth, hairless chests? Really? And I've never been to Greece but I'm rather sure they don't have big, gaping bottomless pits laying around. And the wolf--belonged in a fairy tale cartoon, not in an adult movie I'm supposed to take seriously. The greatest tragedy is that this sort of dreary, comic book-like fantasy film has spread all over the industry. Clash seems to echo these nauseating sentiments.
