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.
