 |
|
Hey, guys, I've heard about the 300 and its getting good reviews, but before I go see with my family I was wondering what you all thought of it. Was it good? Does it live up to the hype? Hopefully not too cheesy acting?

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's (obviously) violent and more than a little bloody, so I wouldn't recommend it for kids. There's some sexual content too, also a concern with children or more reserved sorts of people. Granted, it's based on a comic book, so don't expect a lot of historical accuracy; they hit the big things (where, when, who) and that's about it on the realistic end. The acting was good and it's a very visually interesting experience. There's a lot more yelling than I expected. I left the theater with an adrenaline rush and I haven't done that since the first Matrix movie. My boyfriend and I got into the car and once it started I cranked his stereo as loud as it could go since there was nothing around that needed bludgeoning.  Definitely worth seeing on the big screen at least once.
Hope you enjoy!

One of the best action movies, and the best S&S movie I ever saw. But not for small kids..

Unless one of you is ready to answer awkward questions about strangely-shaped (in my experience at least) nipples, I wouldn't take the nephews with you for this one.
(Seriously, I thought Greece is supposed to be warm? How are *all* these people ready to cut glass?!?!)

I totally agree and not only that it is a great epic homage to those brave spartans and their fight for freedom so long ago...
BTW: Does anyone wonder why the Iranian regime and most muslims in general are raging over this movie?
The excuses I've heard so far make as much sense as the city of Vegas complaining over the over the top characters and visuals of the movie Sin city!

Iran traces its cultural heritage back to ancient Persia in a very direct way (i.e. it *is* Persia, but officially called Iran since 1935), so to see the ancient Persians portrayed as so very much the bad guys in an American movie - a genre already held in very low esteem by many, though by no means all - comes as more of a personal insult than most of the movie's target audience probably intends. Add that to a lot of anti-Western sentiment floating around, and the movie is easy fodder for political accusations.
That said, I think the political critics would be a lot happier if they just let it go and enjoy the violence and naked people.

My sarcasm detector may be completely off, but are you joking? The spartans weren't exactly known for their great love of freedom and liberty for all , you know.

Isn't it nice when movies make us go all political? It's a hot subject to discuss, people, so play nice.
There's actually an interesting article about 300, fact and fiction here.
do. (just thinking she ought to remind people that usually political and racial issues turn nasty on forums)
