Negative Positive
Title: Shallow story, amazing action
Review: "300" will not go down in history as a movie with a great plot. In many ways, it was just another "cut up lots of people with swords, stick many of them with spears, and have the heroes die screaming" type movie.EXCEPT...- the casting and costumes were great.- the fight scenes, and cinematic style (normal speed, slow speed, normal speed, slow speed, et cetera) were bloody but phenomenal.- the computer generated blood splatterings oozed the horror of close combat sword fighting.- the beginning really explained why the Spartans were in such excellent physical shape.I didn't like the fake wolf with the glowing eyes, and the oracle attendants with their leprosy were too fake. Spartans just wouldn't put up with that crap!Rated R for slight nudity and gore galore. Not the best date movie!
