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

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.

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!
