The 300
Andrew pointed me to a trailer for this like 8 months ago and I have been looking forward to it ever since. Went to see it last night at the Jordan's IMAX in Framingham and have to say it exceeded my high expectations. The visual stuff was just absolutely incredible (the best of any movie I have seen for years), really feeling like a comic book brought to life. And I thought the plot stuff was pretty effective as well. The Spartan politics stuff was not very interesting or believable but something was needed for quick breaks from the long and intense action sequences. The warriors seemed to me to have a very believable attitude - not wanting to die but accepting that they were likely to do so and believing in Leonidas and that their deaths would be worth something. The training and esprit de corps they have is very well presented too. Highly recommended if you can handle the blood and see it on the biggest/best screen you can. ****1/2
