Re: 300
did we see the same movie??!?!? I found it BORING
first of all, it was a bit disctracting when I realized that you could seamlessly add "FUCK YEA!" after every other sentence in the film
(edit) seriously, try it when you see the movie: "we're spartans" (Fuck yea!) "you are my queen" (Fuck YEA!) 'you won't like this (f-yea)
then it was so violent that it lost all of its meaning. Like - I got bored just watching beheading after beheading (how many were there in total? it felt like a lot)
also - it was just obnoxious how many times they had close-ups of bloody spears... not that you saw it going through a person, it was just montage after montage of - oh look! a spear with blood on it... what's that - oh a spear, with blood on it... guess what? more spears with blood!
and the voice of the 10-12 foot transvestite (the main bad guy) seemed improperly dubbed over... and fake sounding (ok - he wasn't in drag, and that might've been somewhat historically accurate, but I couldn't stop thinking of Dennis Rodman half the time)
and what was up with his Crab-Man? He's only in one scene, and had giant crab-claws for arms ...and he beheads someone... I thought this was supposed to not include mythology?
Not a horrible movie, visually (I really thought that the oracle sequence was great... even when you see the dude who bribes them & he fades to black), but you see the same images over and over again - and it looses value.
the script was horrible, but I wasn't expecting much to begin with.
Now - I saw it in a semi-big theater... I would not reccommend seeing it in any sort of smaller venue, even dvd. I actually vow that I won't watch it on dvd, b/c then it'd be the most boring, long-ass movie ever to include gratuitus close-ups of bloody spears
fuck yea
