DoubleTap Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I went to see '300' on Saturday, and despite some trepidation on my part after seeing 'Sin City' (by the same director), it turns out that the movie was very well done. It is based very closely on a graphic novel, so there are some very artistic flourishes and license, but at heart it told the tale well and what the battle meant for Greek survival and later world history. The casting and acting were superb, the special effects were there to tell the story, not BE the story, and it had a lot of deeper meaning beyond the blood and mayhem amid the combat, which was intense. I am well aware it won't be everyone's cup of tea, as it were, but I enjoyed it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm looking forward to seeing this. But are the action scenes aimed towards the 18-24 year old brigade who enjoy crap like Triple X II: State of the Union, or are people with slightly more brain cells going to enjoy it too?

Klinger Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Well I thought this had to be about some battle between Nazi and Partisans, circa 1943. Was only about 2000 years out. Thanks to this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, someone with a brain would enjoy it, if they pay attention and don't listen to the critics, who are a PC lot of twerps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I just recently downloaded (did I say that with my outside voice?) a movie called "The 300 Spartans" which was released in 1962, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
