Lives up to it's hype

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2007)

Well, I just got back from the 9:45 P.M. showing of 300. I was pumped to see it.
From the very beginning you get sucked into the plot. The Acting is average i would say. Some of the lines seem forced. The fighting is intense, Its not like those fast paced fights were you don't understand *beep* You can actually see how the fighters maneuver.
I would have to say, Frank Miller's style really detracted from the film. I feel almost as if the monsters are completely unnecessary. Although he's what put the entertainment and style into this film, it could have had a better feel to it without a 9 foot 3 inch retard with chains wrapped around him.
The Queen to me plays a great role, from inspirational speeches to the passionate love a wife gives to her husband.
For those of you who are wondering watching this with your parents would make you feel awkward for like 3 minutes of the movie. There's a seen were the king/queen do their thing and a massive orgy of monsters which kind of made me look the other way.
As far as the visually stunning part, I cant say its something i haven't seen before, its a computerized background. The style and how unique the movie is makes it stunning.
Lots of Action. Lots of Fun. INTENSE. Go see it if you haven't Rating:8.4/10 (I think the voters have it right!)
