300, honestly, was one of the worst movies i have seen in a long time. How could i possibly be so bored watching all those boobies and people stabbing eachother?
Now, Sin City was great, but the comic book, computer generated style did not work in this movie, esp since the color scheme was just distracting and annoying. Scene after scene, the same thing happens: people kill some people, say some paltitude about why they are killing people, then kill more people, before getting themselves killed. Now, i am all for gratuitous and excessive violence in movies (see, Sin City) but shouldnt that violence at least, oh i dont know, excite you. There was no tone to this movie, no thrust. Richard Roeper's review is way off. A.O. Scott's is much better.
There were some cool scenes, like when those two dudes were going nuts on all those other dudes (ok, i realize that describes every scene, but you know which one i mean). But, come on, is this really where we want epic movies to go? For all the Gladiators and Saving Private Ryans to be replaced with sluggish, green-screen serials that feel more like the vignettes between levels in video games? I didn't think so.
Rating: 2.2/10
