THIS is a movie, THIS is art...

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2007)

I usually refrain from voicing my opinion too much, because really... Who cares?? I don't feel as if I need to convince everyone against their will to conform to my view on most subjects, especially movies... However, I must express myself in this case.
This film... is what a film should be. PERIOD.
I just got back from viewing "300" in a stuffy theater, every seat was full and the air was thick with the heat of a room packed with others. THIS WAS IT, I couldn't believe it! I had been pumping myself up for this movie SO MUCH, I can't tell you. EVERYONE thought I was going to be SO disappointed. I bought the beautiful graphic novel and the book "300: The art of the film" and I viewed the preview COUNTLESS times... STILL, I must say, I am COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! I am so satisfied with this entertainment... Gorgeous cinematography, astounding drama, jaw-dropping C.G.I, magnificent battle sequences (actually, beautiful) and all filmed in a single room in Montreal (save for a few minor add-ons)!! I will never be able to explain in words FURTHER how outrageously divine this film was... So, I will stop and merely say one thing... This movie will rock you at a soul-deep level, it is masterful and sheerly Glorious. IN ADDITION, I am disgusted too see some people sell themselves out by completely disregarding this film for so little... and for no reason... Because this is beyond matters of OPINION... It is a universal truth that "300" is in a league of its own (after being in a league of its own in the comic realm) AND it is a profound breathtaking work of ART... If you deny this, you deny yourself...
CHEERS ALL AROUND ~R
