Just So, So

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2007)

300 was not a movie I planned on seeing. A couple of friends wanted to go and I was bored so I figured what the heck. I thought it was just so so. I thought a lot more could have been done with this film. I loved the story behind it. The classic Greek battles between the Persians and the Spartans are a great story. I guess I was hoping for the film to follow history more than it did. I mean come on rhinoceroses running around, Japanese looking fighters, and a drag queen looking king. The way Miller filmed this movie was sub-par in my book. I like the matrix style slow motion scenes but they were way overly used. All in all not a bad movie. Maybe one to catch either at the matinée or wait for DVD.
