No way lived up to the hype.

Every other shot in an action/fight scene shouldnt be in 1/2 speed.

This actually makes me want to see it more. I greatly prefer half speed, since it lets you actually see what's going on. I can't stand the schizophrenic, herky jerky ADD camera action that hollywood usually takes. This, and this alone, is why the Matrix was so cool [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I completely agree with this. What is the point of choreographing cool fight scenes and then showing them in a way that no one can understand what is happening ie. Batman Begins. The 1/2 speed just lets you enjoy a cool move for twice as long.

I just got back and thought it was great. Cool fight scenes, didn't waste time with unnecessary love interests, and it stayed true to the comics (though they added the whole goings on in Sparta while they were fighting). The thing that really struck me was the use of the sound. I normally don't really care about sound very much but was really impressed this time.

Shouldn't there have been more Spartan butt-sex if this was really historically accurate?

Just got back. Really enjoyed it. Found myself judging how narrow passageways were for defense purposes afterwards. Exactly what I thought it would be. Liked it more than Sin City.

3.5/5 on my really tough grading scale. I don't like how closely resembled Lord of the Rings, but worse. The storyline could have been much better. Its like they substituted titties for good plot which may be a good or bad thing.

Anyone who rates this anything less than "awesome" has my sympathy. You will truly never find happiness if you did not enjoy this movie thoroughly.

this was great...no way this movie resembled LOTR. It was grittier and sensationalized war. basically the 300 spartans were all bad ass, that's the plot and I was happy with it.

poor-man gladiator, ripped so many motifs.

gladiator meets sin city

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought gladiator was ok but a poor man's Braveheart. None of the wit, and the fight scenes were all flash and gore - boring and repetitive. I was mildly entertained by Sin City but could care less if I ever see it again.
