hat that is probably a good idea actually.

johnny, it was incredibly theatrical and dramatic. i mean geez, the thrusts were in slow-motion.

Was that the sex scene with the king and queen or the girl with the oracles?

Queen.

The oracle's dance/whatever was pretty sweet. I like how she blended in with the smoke. I liked all the slow motion and then quick paced rhythm the dance and the fighting had. That was actually one of my favorite parts about it.

I thought this was very much a comic book, even on the big screen. I haven't read the original but you could see that a lot of the set piece kind of shots were lifts straight from panels of the comic (pushing the persians to the cliffs, the shot from behind Leonidas right at the end). The camera has the same kind of over the top graphic novel melodrama that the writing and the acting have. That's not a criticism because it really works in the right kind of film, which is this kind.

It got kind of bogged down with the politics in the middle, and it felt a little like it was there just to give the film a sheen of legitimacy rather than being a montage of fights. All in all though B+ would watch again.

PS

If you are that way inclined you could read a more detailed dissection here

The best part about this movie is the wealth Youtube parody spinoffs.
Seriously, have you even seen 300 PG?
