300

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2007)

Believed the "300" was one of the best ever!!! I am about to have my 70th birthday & wanted you to know that even though it was rated "R", this movie was (& is) a blockbuster!!!...I read a lot of the critics' reviews, which basically turned me off ....
This film was made with no "name" stars, an untested director(although if you did your homework, you would find him to be one of the top commercial directors in the world).....& as said above, makes an "R" rating the kiss of death on the possibility of being an "epic" of huge proportions ......
Well, this one made them all sit back & say, "Wow!".....A $60 M budget and at last report was at $412M with both Domestic and International revenues reported through 4/20.....
Pretty scary for the competitors of Warner Brothers & Mr. Snyder and the "blue" screen or whatever they call it....So be it, all you "want-to be-intellectual" critics.....This is sheer entertainment and I think the public has spoken!...............Ed Snyder, Pittsfield, Mass...
