300 Review

Words really can't describe this movie.

Wait, yes they can.

Amazing.

That's one word actually.

Lets' throw in great. That makes two and my statement true.

This was trully an amazing movie. The only thing I am dispointed with is that the movie won't be nominated for an academy award. It deserves to win best picture.

I won't go into spoiler details, but it reall is an amazing movie.

Acting was great.
Story was great.
FX were great.
Directing was great.
Action was great.

I honestly can't find a flaw in the movie now that I think about it more.

And their is something for everyone. Women get to see 1/2 naked men with six packs. Men get to see top notch action and over the top gore.

But don't let the over the top part scare you away. It works for the movie. These Spartans are fighting with swords and spears, so it feels very acceptable seeing persians getting spears shoved through their body and seeing limbs falling off.

Their is some sexual content and nudity. Which I enjoyed. There are plenty of movie with much more sex and nudity. And make no mistake about it. The sex scene that had nudity was a real love scene. It was between the King and Queen. Not two people that met a few days ago and are already in love thanks to a movie plot.

This movie was amazing.

Go see it.

For some 300 news.

300 Makes 27.7 Million Opening Day!

In what could turn out to be one of the most astounding box office stories of the year so far, ShowBIZ Data is reporting that Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's Greek war epic 300 has earned an estimated $27.7 million on its opening Friday, including midnight previews and IMAX receipts.

This could be a watershed opening for Snyder and Warner Bros., who took a big chance on the stylized film based on Miller's graphic novel after the failure of Oliver Stone's Alexander at the box office in 2004, but it's a good sign that Snyder's next proposed project, an adaptation of Alan Moore's Watchmen, will be fast-tracked come Monday morning.

Although 300 had a bigger opening day than last year's Ice Age: The Meltdown, which currently holds the March weekend opening record with $68.03 million, the guy-friendly movie is also likely to be more frontloaded to Friday, which means it might be a close one if it's going to break that record for the weekend.

Director Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's epic graphic novel 300 set a new March record with an estimated opening of $70 million from 3,103 locations. Starring Gerard Butler as King Leonidas who leads the Spartans against the massive Persian army, the movie surpassed previous March record holder Ice Age: The Meltdown, which collected $68 million its first weekend last year. Budgeted in the mid-$60 million range, the Warner Bros. release also marks the third-highest debut ever for an R-rated movie, trailing just The Matrix Reloaded ($91.8 million) and The Passion of The Christ ($83.8 million). It is now also the top opening of 2007 so far, beating Ghost Rider's $45.4 million from February.
