300
I have been looking forward to 300. Not because I have read the graphic novel, but because I did not see "Sin City" on the big screen. I regretted that when I watched the DVD. What I liked about SC was that it transferred a comic book to the big screen the way in which "Dick Tracy" tried to do and, utltimately, failed. I did not think that SC was a very good film, but it had style. Watching the trailer for 300 reminded me of SC. Of course, both films are from genre writer/artist Frank Miller. Even though the entire film looked CG-ish, that was the point. It had a style that was not realistic, but was very comic-booky. A complaint one friend had was that the Spartans did wear armor, where in the movie they are all bare chested. For me, I thought the actors looked fantastic. Even the various Persians looked incredible. Believe me, I am sure that was not the only historical inaccuracy. This movie was fun. Over blown, over dramatic, over stylized, and taking itself way
