300 The Movie

WOW. . .freaking amazing movie, and I am not just talking about the hot ass men in their leather speedos (I'll tell you what, that made for some nice viewing). Was there much of a story? Not really but that didn't matter because the visuals were so stunning (yes, that includes the men) that even when what little story there was dragged there was so much to look at that you really didn't notice. I did have to agree with one reviewer here in Cleveland who said that while comic books rely on drawing lines to show motion movies can actually show motion! I flipped through the graphic novel and it did seem to me that they were a bit fanatical about following it frame by frame. I do think that maybe there needed to be some adjustment and creative liberties taken when moving it to a new, and more dynamic, medium. It is still SO worth going to see though (unless you don't like the sight of blood spattering around) and not just for a great shot of Gerard Butler's muscular ass.
