300 DVD - NA review
By Kakoa on
First, let me make it clear that I am a woman. Second, let me make it clear that I absolutely LOVE this movie! I say this because for some reason most women did want to even watch this movie, or did not like it once they saw it. Girls...watch it. It's not as gory as you think. Although they do show a lto of people getting heads and hands cut off. But it is done with such an artistic cinematic effect that it's not like Braveheart-type gory.
I watched this movie for the first time on an Imax screen. It was amazing! Once I watched it on DVD, it lost some of its effect, but was still great. So the bigger the TV you can watch it on, the better. 300 actually has a slight romantic story to it also, but it is mostly all about how the Spartans fought the Persian army. There were a few parts I did not like that I knew went way off the historical aspect of the movie. The big one was the hunchback influence and all the freaks of the Persian army. I'm sorry, but there were no half man half goat people.
Overall, this movie is very touching and tells a great story of the bravery of the Spartan people. From the very beginning of the movie to the last shot of the battle scene, 300 is packed with action, humor, and touching emotions of loyalty and brotherhood.
A guy friend of mine has been trying to get me to watch this, and I've been resisting, kicking and screaming all the way. But after reading this, I think I'll give it a shot now. It will make him happy and it sounds like it won't hurt as much as I feared! ;-) Thanks from both of us!
We haven't bothered to see this one because it seemed like just a feature-length video game. Maybe we will need to re-think that.
I love this movie especially the cinematography. I like the artistic touch given to the scenes and of course the effects were superb. I've watched this a couple of times already and I don't mind watching it again.

I have this DVD! And I also saw it on IMAX as soon as it came out! Totally worth the money i paid for it! I loved it so much i think I had like an orgasm when i saw it in IMAX lol I didn't really care for the war or the gore as I already knew about the story of the Thermopylae and Frank Miller's style. I love the fact that it's mostly half naked buff men running around for 2 hours!
You are right - I thought I didn't want to watch this movie. You've convinced me otherwise, and I'll put it on my "to watch" list.
This sounds like a great movie. I have not gotten a chance to see this movie yet.
