I thought the movie was awesome. The slow-motion really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I was actually expecting WAY more of it from the way the trailers looked, so I didn't have the same problem with the slow mo as Rapzilla did.

But I thought the movie was great. Faithful to the comic, and with Frank working as executive producer and overlooking the whole thing, they did a pretty great job. Although the slow mo was unneeded in some parts, Zack Snyder has done a magnificent job. When I heard the guy that made the Dawn of the Dead remake was doing this, I didn't know what to think (I DID like the new Dawn, but it was average at best). But 300 has shattered those doubts as he has proven that he is a talented director. People who slammed him after the new Dawn and after they heard he was doing 300 should really be eating their words right now.

After watching this, I'm actually looking FORWARD to his film of Alan Moore's the Watchmen... When I read they were making that a movie, I shuddered, but Snyder is really fighting to make it a great adaptation, unlike previous scrapped Watchmen proposals... he really cares about it. Maybe for once, a wonderful Alan Moore story will FINALLY get a good movie. After 300, I have faith in Mr. Snyder.

By the way, Snyder snuck a single frame of Rorschach from the Watchmen into one of the 300 trailers. Its not final, tis from a screen test, I believe. But here it is... not too shabby:

Yeah, I went with a friend of mine and I just knew he was going to be complaining about the 'historical inaccuracies' once it was over. Ack. I (the comic artist) was yelling at him (the obnoxious critic) all the way out of the theater... XD

It was pretty good... The acting felt a tiny bit stiff in one or two spots but for the most part it kept me entralled the whole way through.

(Also, the closest thing I saw to homoeroticism was that Xerxes struck me as... a tad flamboyant. :lol:

I'm probably one of the only person that wasn't that impressed with 300.

has four reviews for 300 in their theatrical reviews section. Of them, one is positive, one is iffy (mostly negative), and two are negative.

Caught the late showing last night...AWESOME! I'm actually glad about all the slow motion action, as I was able to really see EVERYTHING that was going on! Otherwise it would have been just one huge, muscley blur.

I thought the attack scenes were the coolest I've seen on film.

Loved the less than historic parts as well...some of the Persian beasties were really cool! The Human Guillotine Man! Really wanted to get more lookseys at that thing.
