300 (2007): 8 stars
4 stars for being a really good epic, with
+6 stars for special effects, with
-1 for the queen’s monologue, and
-1 for a disturbing rape scene, and
+.5, I guess, for her twisting the rapist’s words while she twists the sword, and
-1 for dead elephants, and
+1 for David Wenham, though
-.5 stars for criminally underutilizing him
