Late to the game, but aboard now...
SAW 300 for the first time last night...
WOW! Loved it! Not my all-time fave or nothing, but it will do!
(and loved seeing the preview for my next favorite film, PATHFINDER, in a theatre also...)
But yeah, this one ruled. Had more testosterone per minute than any movie I think I have seen in years. There was that one line about the evil guys, driving those ugly beastie guys with whips into battle, and some guy in the audience started laughing....like, at all the macho stuff...and there was much to be sure...but you know....
I LIKED IT!
About damn time I saw some GUYS that were total bada$$es and not politically correct or something. No softies here. Conan types all.
Men. When it was ok to be one. Still. I'd love to have seen Leonidas and the rest of the guys' reactions to modern mores and standards and limits by society...
I bet we'd get a big
"AHOOOOOOO!"
That laughing guy was probably some pu$$ywhipped geek that just couldn't let himself appreciate what bad dudes are truly capable of when really put to the test. Probably threated his male self image a bit. I guarantee you that guy wouldn't stand up to Xerxes' army with that much attitude. I get he'd a pee'd hisself silly!
Overall, flick took liberties with history and all, the attire was not too realistic, a bit too 60's cheesy gladiator movies style to my tastes, but with Leonidas in charge,
who cares!
Good stuff! Enjoyed it! Give it ***1/2 stars out of five. Clever imagery, and basic plot, but very fun. I just wish the blood stayed on the bodies and ground after spouting out so! You wanna talk about cleanup time! They needed to add the droning sounds of what else would be very present there...flies!
WHATEVER!
Put this one near the top of the REAL MAN MOVIES list
Oh, and cool shirt Josh! Yeah, do you have those rubber arm sleeves then? Did you have to do the H/C thing to get them to fit?
