Most homoerotic movie ever...


300 was one of my personally most painful movie watching experiences. I went in expecting a historical drama about one of the most incredible true stories in the history of the world. What I got was some homoerotic computer generated version of He-Man or something. Why did they need so many slow-motion sequences? I understand the slo-mo in Baywatch, but in a war movie?

Why did so many straight guys like this? It's basically 90 minutes of nonstop half-naked men with digitally enhanced abs. How is that anything but gay soft-core?

I have nothing against homosexuality and am in no way homophobic, but this movie made me feel like I accidentally bought tickets to some gay fantasy film and not a movie about an event that actually happened.

And why were they so racist against the Persians? What was with the monsters?
Zack Snyder is such a horrible director...he directs movies like they're Video Game trailers. He makes me almost respect Michael Bay as a director.

dan6pitcher...Im a straight male aswell as alot of others in this thread and I didnt find it homoerotic at all...sure they had great physique as alot of action heros have in all kinds of movies and I have find neither to be homoerotic...I think the only way to really see this as something that have to do with homosexuality, is if you are gay yourself but havent got out of the closet or even realized it yet...but I think you are on to something about your sexuality here dan...
