If you love watching brutal violence and don't care if it looks like a computer-game trailer starring people who've had plastic surgery, your eyes will slap you high-five if you take them to see 300. The film is based on Frank Miller's retelling of the classic myth where 300 muscleheaded Spartans fight a one-million-strong army of Persian pansies. Like in Sin City, digitally-enhanced people and backdrops are mixed in with live action. But all the visual effects somehow dilute the on-screen carnage - graphic blood is less believable than fake blood used in real films. Do you agree? Watch the trailer after the jump.

Q&A with the director:

i agree, but i don't think the movie is trying to be realistic...
+ since aladin, i realised persians ARE pansies, but they've got the A BOMB now (or soon)

Doesn't matter how good they are; visual effects will never hold up against bad dialogue and stagey performances.
You can bejewel a turd all you want but in the end it's still stinkin' jewel encrusted turd.
Still reccommend it enough for the sound design. See in an IMAX theater if you can.
