Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

Sure, it was entertaining. But it really seemed like it was just one big cgi-enhanced battle scene. The dialogue was pretty lame, the narration seemed forced, the soundtrack was laughable at points, and the gratuity of the blood spatter affect was stupid. It felt like I was watching a cut-scene from Age of Empires or something.

Those of you that really liked it, prove me wrong, tell me what was so awesome about it.

Yeah, the box office called and said that you've lost your testicles. You might want to go get them back.

I don't understand why you're all like 'lol ur not a man if u didnt liek it'

People don't like things. Imagine that.

My co-worker is in Film Study. Her professor saw the movie and said it was so-so. Good for the average male college student who doesn't care about what makes a good movie and just wants to see scripted killing over and over again.

I agreed after I saw it. Sure, it was pretty good, but the lack of any substantial backing to the movie made it kinda weak.

Because it's 300, duh.

Kay, if you went to see the movie for a story line or a plot, you obviously didn't get it. However, if you went there to see fighting and men saying corny jokes/lines, you got it.

Guess which group I was in.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

a note on the soundtrack, since a couple people said it was really good. i don't think for this movie it was a bad soundtrack, but there were definitely points where the music didn't fit. one moment that sticks out in my mind is when they're slowly walking forward and there's electric guitar going in the background. it sounded like a wwf entrance song. which is fine if that's what you want to hear, but for me i just started laughing because it was so incongruous. to me, a soundtrack should augment and complement the action without being noticed. but that's just my opinion.

oh, and chromer's unoriginal, and tibs is very clever.

Have you actually listened to the soundtrack? I have it and I don't remember any electric guitars in there.

That'd be kewl killing 300 people in a variety of crazy ways...

But that would be a strange movie saw and 300...

Doesn't work out.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

I thought the movie the 300 was pretty epic, with all its slow motion.
Epic slow motion fighting
Epic slow motion sex
Epic slow motion walking

What more could you ask for in a movie?

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

to all, most notably djshox: 300 accomplishes what it set out to do very well, and i do appreciate it for that, that's why i said i found it entertaining, but i find that i enjoy a movie more if it has more substance to it.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

I saw 300 in theaters, and I thought it was quite a good movie. Sure, there wasn't a whole lot of story to it. However, you read a review saying it's "The story of how 300 Spartans stood up to an army"...

I wonder what the movie is going to be about? Maybe a big battle or something?

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

ITT We take 300 and judge it for all it shouldn't be judged.

It's an adrenaline pumping movie aimed towards individuals who like awesome men doing awesome things in slow-motion (everyone). If you went to see this movie with anything else in mind you're pretty much an idiot. It's like saying "I went to see Snakes in a Plane expecting an awesome well-developed plot and I was disappointed."

It was a good movie.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

I saw it because everyone exclaimed that it was "AWESOME" and "ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVARRRRR"

It wasn't. I'd rather watch Harry Potter.

Re: Saw 300, wasn't impressed.

Also I just have to add that the ending is the most beautiful ending that could have ever been used. The battle chant of 40,000 soldiers is awesome, and the charge in slow motion is so epic and glorious.

That was an awesome ending indeed. I also like the part when Leonidas is standing looking up at all the arrows that come down and kill him. The sight of all the arrows raining down on him and darkening the screen.
