305

I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't have the highest expectations, given some of the other low budget crap I've seen on Amazon. However, this one, even though it was clearly a low budget film, was actually pretty good. The characters are very likable, you have to love the blind guy. Claudius's helmet is way too small and he's always getting tricked by the prospect of food, both of which are just freaking hilarious. The whole premise of following the worst of the spartan army and their pointless mission to protect a goat path, is pretty humorous to begin with. Then throw in Claudius's upbeat and joyous outlook on everything and the other characters' personalities, really brings the whole thing together into a very enjoyable movie that I didn't want to end. The reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because the only movie I've given 5 stars to so far is Deadpool. Obviously not on the same level as Deadpool (well-known Hollywood film with a $58 million dollar budget and famous actors), but definitely humorous and worth watching. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Not terrible...I didn't expect to watch more than 5 minutes or so, much less the whole movie.Of course, it's not a great movie, but I did find it to be light-hearted, entertaining, and humorous...not LOL funny, but humorous.Not a bad way to kill a Sunday afternoon. I mean, I'm away from home, holed-up in a hotel room in Scottsboro, AL and it's been raining all day. Given the circumstances, what the hell else am I going to do? This movie was an okay way to kill the time. On the other hand, if I had been at home I probably would have done something different with my time.My biggest complaint is that they mixed the background music a little hot. There are some points in the movie where the dialogue is hard to understand because the background music is too loud. A little more audio mixing would have made this a better experience.

Yes, this movie was completely ignored at Oscar time. It’s not brilliant, it’s not Citizen Kane but it’s a funny, good-natured, fun way to spend some time. At first I thought the low production values hamper the story but then I realize they were part of the charm. The office style interviews add a great deal. Humor is definitely aimed around a 10-year-old guy level and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the characters are pleasant schmucks. You wouldn’t want to go into battle with him but you certainly would want to hang out with them. And not to be sexist, But the female lead is one hot hot babe. In fact, the most negative thing I can say about the movie is that I wish her role had been more prominent, she was great. I enjoyed it more, and thought it was better, then many comedies with higher budgets

Everyone should view the youtube short under the same name, along with the two trailers for this movie. They are all very clever and funny. But, you should stop there. This feature does not live up to the high standards set by the shorts. The acting is subpar/overacted and the humor just isn't there. Not to mention that the soundtrack just gets annoying. The witty humor of the internet clips remains only during the scenes taken from the online videos, but everywhere else is dry. It was very hard to stay awake throughout the whole thing (whereas I still watch the youtube short). The special features are interesting, but the overall plot and movie itself was very disappointing. It was filmed very well, and i could deal with the cheesy special effects because it didn't take away from the humor of the internet clip. In summary, 305 was very disappointing.

I saw the movie "300" that this lame parody is supposedly modeled on. Too bad they didn't see it. None of the key scenes are replicated in the obviously lo-tech movie. No people get pushed into holes, no inspiring speeches, etc. Instead, they decided to present this as a documentary (wtf?), so that much of the time the characters are talking to us as if being interviewed. Dumb idea. The actual jokes must be there, but I'm not going to waste another 83:49 looking for them. Stupid, stupid, stupid. The original short is included as an extra, and that's not much to brag about either. Yea, the original movie was ripe for satire, but THIS dreck is not the movie to do it. Instead, like most of Saturday Night Live, they take one potential joke, and instead of hitting and stopping right there, they instead extend and extend and extend, never knowing when to just quit. Wanting to say something nice about the movie, the Aurillia character, played by Heaven Peabody (I assume that's her real name) is fairly cute. Her flashing eyes are nowhere near enough to save this movie.

305 could have been a Mel Brooks film. In fact, if Mel had ever seen this, he'd have enjoyed the hell outta it.Low budget, dumb story line and funny, funny, fun-ny!

When I tried to rent 305 at Blockbuster, it was sold out. I had to drive across town to a different store to rent a copy. I think the gas cost me more than the rental.We watched it tonight with our family and loved it. It's original and authentic. The Office meets 305 approach is so funny and engaging that I bought a copy from Amazon.I want more Darryl and Claudius, more deadly carrots and rolling pins, more he-she oracles and battles with giants.Will there be a 305.5? I think they left it open for that possibility. I'll be waiting.

Completely low budget, completely idiotic, but still watchable and actually slightly entertaining. LOL. Watched this as I was killing monsters in a game, it is pretty good.
