300...A MUST see!!!!!

Funbrunette · 03-10-2007, 10:17 PM

Wow! An adrenaline-charged rush of fantastically stylish visuals, colossal battles, and gratuitously fulfilling bloodshed, 300 manages to ground itself with enough genuine heart and solemn sincerity to propel itself into epic entertainment not confined only to audiences of masculine design. 300 is the first must-see film of 2007, a mature, visually arresting cinematic fantasy thrill-ride.

Best movie I've seen in a very long time. I'd see it again tomorrow!

Cyndalie · 03-11-2007, 07:41 PM

That's it, I'm going next week!
Takes alot to get me into a theater, but I think you did it FunB

Evil Chris · 03-12-2007, 12:03 AM

Yeah, I'm definitely grabbing this one on DVD for the home theatre as well.

qUeenBeE · 03-12-2007, 06:59 AM

we weren't able to watch it yesterday on theater bu we'll surely give it a try within this week... i've been hearing a lot of positive comments bout it

Way3 · 03-12-2007, 10:58 AM

We weren't able to get tickets at our theatre, so we'll have to wait and give it a try here next week.

student4ever · 03-12-2007, 04:21 PM

Ok, I've been waiting for this one to hit the theaters, so to all the women who have seen it or are going to... how the heck do I get my wife to go when it's not her kind of movie? Hot guys in next to nothing?

I watched it at the IMAX and was really disappointed. It's a good movie, but surely nothing to rave about. The plot/storyline is about as thick as a Dr. Suess book.

If you like Frank Miller, check out Sin City instead.

Disappointed? What were you expecting? I knew it would be mostly battle scenes pumped up with CGI, and the execution was spot on. I liked 300 much more than Sin City to be honest.

different strokes I guess.

300 wasn't terrible, it just wasn't really that great. It would've been better if they'd added some more beheadings... I only counted 4

Did the buff guys make you feel funny inside?

If I wanted to watch gay porn, I'd simply open a new browser window. I watched the movie as a drama, but maybe you're right, I might have enjoyed it more if I'd brought some lube.

I workout with a couple guys who are bigger and more buff than anyone in the movie... on a daily basis. Lucky me

Thats quite a raving review pretty lady. I'll have to check it out for sure now.

wildgirl · 03-14-2007, 11:43 AM

sounds great...I have to watched it

gabrio · 03-15-2007, 05:33 AM

gotta go watch it

GoodKisser · 03-15-2007, 12:02 PM

have seen it in a premier night and i really really really liked this movie. and i agree with you FB, it's yet the best film for 2007......more to come ;-)

Kenny B · 03-16-2007, 04:07 PM

Good movie but hardly best movie ever. For women who like to look at half naked men fighing and doing man things, go see the movie!

teenytricia · 03-19-2007, 12:56 PM

I'm such a loser! I haven't seen it till now ...

Simon IA Cash · 03-19-2007, 02:21 PM

I dunno, I didn't really like it very much at all, less the more I think about it. Ok, they had some funky lighting sometimes and good camera filters, but goddamn this film of unrelenting insecure machismo was as much art in its content as is Maxim magazine. There was little to it, and the least they could do was have some decent fighting/action. You get sick of brown-speedo-wearing dudes doing the same move again and again and again. Block with shield, pirouette like a ballerina, slice. Block with shield, pirouette like a ballerina the other way, slice. It was the kind of film where after many scenes you'd expect a bunch of ten-year-old boys to scream in unison "aweeesommmmmmmmmmme". Pretty much a waste of time. Not to mention the non-action parts, where there was so little character development that it was just about impossible to care about what happened to them. But I guess I'm the minority here.

Looking forward to it becoming an iconic film for the gay community.

Way3 · 03-19-2007, 02:41 PM

We finally got out and saw it! Let's just say that I thought it was Good and worth seeing. I didn't leave the theatre raving about it though.

Strangely enough, this is really the only reason I went to see it.

Now tell me if they made a similar movie about amazonian women fighting a battle in little more than torn animal skins with their perky breasts bouncing and their nipples poking up over the edge of the skins, a well oiled sheen across their nubile young bodies you wouldn't be in the front row? Hmmm, come to think of it, I'd go for that, just for the camp value alone. LOL!

glad2beme · 03-19-2007, 02:40 PM

thanks for the feedback.. any feedback about the movie "pathfinder"? thanks..

daisyswank · 03-20-2007, 12:35 PM

I gotta see that!!!

Panky · 03-20-2007, 03:51 PM

I saw it last night. It wasn't terrible. It just reminded me of watching a computer game. I would've liked it better if it were more raw. Sure, the men were pleasing to the eye, but I couldn't get into any of the characters. I could've cared less if they lived or died. It was like a video game, except I was just an observer and not a player. Some movies you get into where you actually begin to like or hate characters and you feel something. 300 just didn't have that. It was a good movie. I just don't think it lived up to all the hype.
