Do you like kick-ass, chest thumping action?
Do you like swords, spears, and ginormous muscles?
Do you like an underdog story based on historical events?
Then go see 300 tomorrow.
It kicks the ferry dust out of Lord of the Rings and really gives Gladiator a run for its money (don’t even mention the seemingly pansy Troy or Alexander).
The camera angles, vibrant lens effects, and motion blur will remind you a bit of Sin City (because it was produced by the same guy) — and that is a good thing.
The only thing I should warn you about: totally not a family-friendly movie. And I wouldn’t take your girlfriend to it if she’s super sensitive to nakedness either.
That aside, it really makes you want to settle disputes with daggers, shields, and fluffy helmet plumage.
Oh, and the script had some funny spots (the audience laughed several times); my favorite line was perhaps from Gorgo the Queen who said that only Spartan women gave birth to real men. [Note: the Main Boss was pretty cheesy]
