I must say, it didn't meet my expectations. Considering that I usually don't go to the movies, the previews had me pretty excited to see it. IMHO, I could have waited for the DVD.
 I'm just wondering what more you expected from it I don't know...maybe seeing it as if I wasn't watching a PS3 game. I think to much CGI takes away from a movie. |

Well, I've seen it twice and enjoyed it very much. Spectacular in IMAX, it was a rare film in that it lived up to my preview-based expectations. Don't look for deep meaning, political statements, award winning acting. Just get a big popcorn, relax, root for the Spartans and appreciate the effects and classic underdog storyline.
FWIW: I'm unashamedly squeamish (I'd faint if I had to watch an operation) but the blood in this movie didn't bother me a bit. I think its because it resembled comic book blood I guess.

Just got back.
For this old fuddy-duddy, it stayed a little too true to it's roots as a comic book, errr, graphic novel in that entirely too much of it looked to be computer generated animation of comic frames. Actually, some of it was actually the panels with almost NO animation, which was a little silly, really.
The plot wouldn't have cut the mustard in the old Stan Lee days.
Still, stunning to look at and absolutely MUST be seen in the theatre if you have any interest at all in it.
Besides, the REAL story is much more compelling....

The reviews from Teheran are in: http://movies.monstersand...ns_anti-Iranian_movie_300Tehran - Iran on Monday strongly condemned the US film company Warner Bros. over the allegedly 'anti-Iranian' blockbuster film 300.
Javad Shamqadri, art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told Fars news agency that the film was an insult to Persian culture and in line with the American 'psychological war' against Iran. Sounds like a 'Thumbs Down' to me...  |
