Title: Should have left well enough alone....
Review: When I first saw a Promo for this movie in the theatre 6 months ago I couldn't wait for it come out. Being familiar with the true story of the actual battle I hoped it would be realistic and gritty and stick to the facts, leave well enough alone, instead it's glitzy, overblown and exaggerated in every direction. The real story would make a tremedous movie, done in a "Saving Private Ryan" type of realism or "Gladiator" treatment. The 300 however is done more in "comic book" fashion. More "professional wrestling" goofiness than Ali/Frazier realism. As much as I love the story, this treatment of it makes it look silly and cotton candy like and I won't be buying it when it comes out.
Is the review positive or negative?
