300...Eh...It was...


I saw "300" a couple of nights ago, and here's the deal. I wasn't exactly expecting "Braveheart" or "Gladiator." I didn't think there would be dialogue to really make me think or blow me off my feet. I knew there would be a lot of blood, severed body parts, and cool special effects. And...

I was right. It was a movie with a lot of fighting, a little sex, and even less good dialogue. It definitely entertained, and I wasn't so bored that I checked my watch every five minutes. But, it didn't blow me away, it won't be standing in line to buy it, and I wouldn't even place it on a top twenty movie list.

It's probably worth seeing. Wait and watch it at home where you can pause it and go pee, check your e-mail, or whatever when the repetitive blood-spattering just becomes too much.

Maybe you liked it. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows?

I still want to see it even though you gave it a less than glowing review. The previews made it seem like it is really inspirational and all about under dogs... I dunno. Was it really long? Or did it seem really long?
