Total Guys Flick Even the Gals Would Like
I was a little concerned when I saw the previews for 300, thinking it might border on the cheezy side of things. However, having been a fan of Sin City by Director Zack Snyder, I held out hope the movie would not take a true story and turn it into something of a farce. Gladly it did not, despite a few liberties being taken. The movie stays true to the graphic novel premise and yet follows the true story of Thermopylae fairly close throughout. Take it as a Greek story on steroids. Every male I know who has seen the movie, loves it. There is one fighting scene after another and good effort was made to make each one unique in its own essence. The ladies biggest complaint was the fact it had too many fight scenes, but overall the movie was quite good. From their perspective, I can agree, from a males view it was nice to have a good war pick without too much sappy romantic side streets to ruin a perfectly good flick. The acting was good, the story better and the movie great!
