300

Another "Kill People Put Fire" movie. About 300 spartans soldiers fighting against all odds to protect their land and freedom. King Leonidas led 300 men to block the attack of Xerxes's astronomical army. His plan was to kill enough Persians so that they will be scare and retreat.

Xerxes launched wave after wave of attack against the 300 but they stood still with their determined will and battle skills.
A lot of CGI blood spilled, limbs flew here and there, heads rolled. Most of the battle scenes are in slow motion which allows the audience to see the killings in true gore details.

The normal army came and they died ...
The hideous 'Malay Fighting men" came and they died ...
The giant came and it died ...
The gigantic rhino came and it died ...
The huge mammoths came and they died ...

But then ... a rejected spartan joined Xerxes. He was rejected by Leonidas as his deformed body would have jeorpadized the safety of other soldiers during battle. Therefore, he led the Xerxes army through a little path and they surrounded the 300. With the will of spartans who do not surrendered, they fought on but all died.

Leonidas was arrowed to death in the end ....

7/10
