Simply put, FREAKIN’ AWESOME!
I liked it a lot, it gave exactly what it sought to give. It had everything that I wanted and more. Rhinos, elephants, you name it — it had it! The battle scenes were well made, very vivid, you could see the effort that was put into making the film. I mean, I’ve never seen someone cut open before, but if I did — I’m sure it would look something like what I saw in 300, that’s for sure.
What I liked the most about it was the essence of a Spartan, the never retreat, never surrender attitude. People need to understand that those people were built to be like that, and that very few people today have that kind of attitude about anything. People are just willing to give up very easily in most everything, which is one of the problems in society today.
One of the things that captured my attention was their freakin’ buffness. Like holy hell, it makes me look at my biceps and go uhm… I’m as buff as when they were kids. It makes me want to do something, like work out.
For huge movie buffs, this would probably be “okay” at best. It’s kind of simple minded, but when you look at the demographic — how many people are movie critics? I feel that Zack Snyder sought to give a crazy glorification of blood frenzy with a few plot nuanaces and such, but for the most part — it wasn’t on the agenda. This isn’t an intellectual WOW I DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS SCHIZO movie, this is a beat em’ up slashy slashy movie.
Gerard Butler’s portrayal of King Leonidas was frikkin’ right on key. It was one of the most believable acts I’ve seen in a very, very long time. He even said himself that it was his destiny to play the role. Now if it’s someone’s DESTINY to play a character, it’s for damn sure that they’d play it right, and play it good at that.
For those who play WC3: Dota Allstars, watch for the guest appearance of Pudge!
I would recommend this movie to anyone, it will definately go down as one of my favorites. I don’t buy a lot of DVDs, but I’m sure I’d take the time to pick up this one when it comes out.
