A paradox of taste : 300(movie)

Last friday, i and 2 of my brother went to watch 300 in Planet Hollywood Indonesia (In Studio 3? im detecting a pattern here).All my friends (except kunderemp) told me that 300 is an action movie that you wont forget, intense epic battle, elegan artwork and so on and so forth.

Instead what i get is a cinema regular action movie masked with thousand army battle (Yeah I know the story said million...but i only felt like sawing thousands of them in the movie) involving nonsense plot, which actually i already read thousands time in games.
Repetitive close quarter battle....

It just a show of a band of six packed man fighting with thousands army (that when theyre defeated, they use another mask, pretending that they areanother part of Xerxes's troop and fight the brave sparta warrior...) and showing exotic lady without any meaning at all...

Accidently all of my brother(except the youngest one, currently at the fifth grade) agreed with me that the film is not a bad film, it is also not as good as everybody hype for...

Yes, it has an interesting artwork, excessive blood, gore and sexuality all over them.
But to be honest with you...
I dont feel anything in the movie offer anything i never seen before...
