I saw 300 on Saturday afternoon and despite hearing nothing but bad reviews, I was incredibly happy with what I saw, got exactly what I wanted out of the movie and felt it was well worth the wait. It was a damn good movie. The battle scenes were awesome, the other stuff was good, the awesome battle scenes took up like 85% of the movie which was awesome and it ended awesomely. I don’t really feel like discussing the battle scenes in detail but there was so much energy during them that you can’t help not fall in love with it. And despite hearing about bad acting, I thought everyone did just fine. Leonidas was an awesome King, but I guess the Spartans as a whole were an impressive people. This was such a better movie than Troy was. I can’t say that it was better than Gladiator because, well hell, it’s Gladiator, but pound for pound I’d put its entertainment value up against anything. I was excited for this movie for a while, and it’s only March, but this might just end up being the best movie of the year. These summer blockbusters have a lot of work to do. I’m talking to you Silver Surfer.
