Agreed. I feel as if I could watch 300 endlessly; taking in the style, art, and action in each shot. I am also going to try and catch a showing at IMAX very soon. Amazing movie with absolutely stunning action sequences.
My only complaint is the amount of slow motion effect used in the movie. I think the movie would have been only 30 minutes long if played at a normal rate ;-)

Quote:I saw 300 last night and let me assure you, it is absolutely outstanding. I plan on going and seeing it in IMAX next week (the IMAX tickets are sold out for a couple days in advance already). The dialog isn't incredibly complex, but it isn't supposed to be - most of the Spartans are just there to to look buff and deliver pithy one liners in the midst of battle. The dialog only detracts from the movie once... to avoid spoilers I won't describe the situation but the entire theater erupted in laughter at what I'm pretty sure was supposed to be a serious situation.
More importantly however, the action sequences kick ass, a ton of Persians get spears through the gut, a couple horrendous mutants get chopped up and even a few giant animals add to the body count. Sweetness. The movie looks fantastic and was definitely worth the wait. 10/10, best movie I've seen in a long time, etc.
Oh and also, the new Spider-Man 3 trailer was shown before 300 and you get to see Venom for a second. Ooooooh baby I can't wait for that one either.
