If you haven’t got around to seeing 300 yet then stop reading this and go to the theater immediately! It was fantastic, slightly better than what I expected. That being said, I’m always slightly disappointed when something meets my expectations,” but I think the exaggerated story and style of the film are more than enough to push it over common expectations. I almost wish I hadn’t seen any previews or “making of” journals online. i always think a film is better if I’ve gone to it blindly then if I’ve already seen the best parts in the previews.

Of course it’s excessively violent which normally bothers me, but it’s so stylized it looks just like a combination of photoshop brushes speckled accross a canvas.

Great pacing, great story, and best of all great art direction. I don’t know how this movie slipped down to a 62% on rotten, I would give it at least a 90. The critics must not understand comic books…
