300

Posted by Sean Smyth on 11 May 2008 / 2 Comments

I watched 300 last night for the first time after meaning to watch it for ages. It was surprisingly good. Better than expected anyway. I tried to ignore all the reviews and hype about it when it was first released so I honestly didn’t know what to expect beyond seeing some scantly clad men slashing stuff. I was right in relation to both of the afore mentioned.

The story was, again, better than I imagined it would be. I thought it would just be a hack and slash affair. It was, but there was more tacked on aswell. I don’t mean tacked on in a bad way either.

Sparta!

“This is A GREEN SCRE…. oh, SPARTA!”

I have to say that I was fairly impressed by the whole – shot against a green screen – thing. It worked BUT there was never a moment when I forgot about that fact. It didn’t take anything away from the film but I think that maybe they could have made it more believeble somehow. Seeing as the went to all that trouble, I think the could have made it blend in better or something. Meh, I dunno what I’m talking about really so I’ll just stop

Green Screen

“This is a green screen. Interesting……..”

So yeah, well worth a watch. 8/10

Meh, it’s not *really* a review, just a comment on the fact that I watched it.

And three updates in the one day just for all the fantastic internet folks to read.

That’s all! :)
