Hi,

Quote:Sadly I enjoyed 300 for its pure, visceral, and unadulterated action. But my taste in movies does tend to run towards the "hee it go boom" category.:)
As one who enjoyed both Conan movies as well as all the Die Hard, I understand (and share) your taste. But the non-action parts of 300 where inane, inaccurate, and largely disconnected. The action parts had a few good scenes, but were overall pretty predictable and boring. Or over the top -- war rhinos??? And with so much of the plot (all two lines of it) hinging on the fact that Spartans fought as a hoplite phalanx, one could expect more than a brief flash of it.

No, I don't think 300 fails because it doesn't meet my standards. I think it fails because it doesn't meet its own.
