300 is not a 10/10 perfect movie!

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2007)

Why did 23 000 people vote a 10 for this movie??
As an art form, filmaking deserves better, this is not a perfect movie..
Don't get me wrong, as a well done action movie it has high energy and is fast-paced. There are some visually pleasing breakthroughs in film making present such as the use of slow motion and the light filters that give it the surreal appearance of a video game..
As a candidate for a perfect 10/10 movie 300 fails immediately because it has a complete disregard for subtlety and modesty, and it communicates only the simple language of our lower animal nature.. This being one of the main reasons I enjoyed it so much! :D But film making as an art form deserves better, and in this case a more well-rounded glimpse into the human psyche for starters.
What more can you expect from an action movie? Entertainment is their primary purpose.. Well, Gladiator contained solid character development, a historically accurate storyline as well as a soulful theme opposed to simple cold, hard action.
Personally, the following flaws disrupted my viewing pleasure: --the slow-mo editing at times being poorly done --the acting at times --the lack of story and character development
Even when evaluated as a well done action movie it is far from perfect.. I would give it a 7.4/10 and the only reason I am so generous is because of this films ample ingenuity.
