Maybe I'm the only one

who didn't think this movie was excellent. I was disappointed, it was definately no Sin City, the action was no Troy, and the visuals although good left a lot to be desired. As far as artistic violence, you did not see a whole lot of it (I didn't think it was that gory and it was stylised anyway). I must prefer the stunning choreography and visuals of House of Flying Daggers or Hero. The dialogue was minimal and there was little character development. Also historically it was slightly exaggerated and the Persians are made out to be superhuman. As a history nut that bothered me a lot! Nonetheless my husband enjoyed it and so did our friend. If you can happily sit there and watch action with little else then you may enjoy it.

This was a stunning visual movie. The blending of special effects CGI with live action was seamless. The muted color scheme really added to the feel of the movie.

The 300 Spartans chosen to go against the thousands of invading soldiers look intimidating. They looked ready to kick some serious butt and did in the movie. The battle tactics were amazing and very realistic. Someone obviously did their homework before making the movie. Gerard Butler was the perfect leader of the Spartans. He makes you want to join in and help fight.

The battle scenes are very intense and bloody. I saw some little children in the theater when I went and didn't really like it. This is not a family film and younger kids should stay at home. There are a couple of sex scenes that don't leave much to your imagination also.

If you like well told and visually explicit action movies, you don't want to miss this one. Once you jump on the ride, you won't want to get off until it ends. Enjoy!
