You will. I got up & was actually faint of heart at the end of it. It's F****** incredible. The guy that plays the Persian God-Leader Xerses is amazing. There wasn't one single point or shot of the movie that I would have a gripe with.

I S*** you not...it's that good.

Wacko, did you think it was "visually A+" because all the hard shots of washboard abs and oiled men?

Just kidding.


300 was a shot of steroids in the ass. Maybe steroids and crack. I dont know if thats the right combination because I've never done either. But it seems like 90% of the movie was injected with a potent cocktail of kick ass . No movie has ever shot so many intense scenes and sequences that I can think of. The way they edited and computer enhancement really made it like no movie I have seen before. Definitely takes action movies to new territory!


Was it just me or was there something subversively sexual about the way Xerses wanted people to surrender and "get on their knees" for him. It was great cause you knew Leonidas was going to kick ass for even having something like that suggested to him. And damn Leonidas knew how to give it to his woman.

I agree with you that Gerard Butler played the part perfectly. He played a wide range of subtle emotions but all the while there was that underlying "fuck with me and die".



I knew from the opening scene that I was about to get eyeball fucked by this movie and aside from a little too many close ups and groups shot glamorizing the actors pecs and abs this movie perfectly accomplishes what it set out to do which is kick ass and take no prisoners.
