The Worst Film Ever
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Excellent adaptation.
A Brilliant Conflict
This is an incredible film which looks like it was made with a 50k budget. This movie uses verbal humor throughout the entire thing which is very difficult these days with CGI and huge stunts. This movie takes a great story line (300) and combines it with the hit show The Office, although you can see direct character similarities in some of the 305 cast with those of The Office, but this film is so smart and proves that you don't need a $100,000,000 budget to make a funny movie. Surprisingly the green screens that they used in this movie turned out pretty well for the most part. This isn't a film makers movie, but this is a film writers comedic masterpiece. Hollywood is so quick to replace wit and humor for Brad Pitt and a car chase, but this movie stays true to what they set out to do on youtube, and that was to make a great spoof. Thank god the Wayans had nothing to do with this movie!
I beg anyone who doesn't plan on seeing this because of the low budget to reconsider. If one wished to compare 305 with other parodies of 300 one would probably find that this film comes out on top.The special effects are of coarse not the typical FX that you would find in a high budget film but they most definitely help make the movie what it is... a silly, well made (taking the budget into account), and for lack of a better phrase, "stupidly funny" film.Another tip for whomever is reading. If you like the TV show 'The Office' and it's quick and perfectly timed humor, you will find a lot in 305 to your liking and at least appreciate the film for what it is, a silly film that makes you laugh even though you know you shouldn't.
This was a very funny movie and I think it was done with tongue in cheek. It is of course a semi mocumentary of the movie 300 but with a few twists. These five guys were suppose to be watching the goat path. They left their post and craziness ensues.The actors are not taking themselves seriously and are just having fun. It shows and makes the movie sort of charming along with funny and amusing.No budget, no special effects but well acted and well written. for what is is...it is way above the norm.Compared to equivalent budgeted movies this thing is a blockbuster!
This movie surprised me a lot. At first glance I was like, hell no not another 300 parody and almost didn't download it but I was bored and decided to give it a go. Cheesy effects, desert-dry humour and ridiculous setups but it all sort of works together. It has some big, genuine laughs and makes an attempt at telling jokes unlike other parodies of today. And, the girl in it is really hot, which definitely helps. Be warned: this is a low budget movie so don't expect a polished, studio production, but in some ways it works for this movie. Give it a chance, don't take it too seriously and you'll have a good time.
