So I read a review about 300 being "far from perfect", but the reviewer in the article points out that on IMDB, it got an 8.6. An 8.6 on IMDB is a superior rating and as I say in my title, "300 is Nearly Perfect say the FANS".
I have not seen this movie yet, but I am anxiously awaiting it. I am also glad the FANS like it and it makes me want to watch it more.
This is a couple of the reviewer's complaints: "it looks more like the inside of a computer game" and "with its macho militarism, seems out of step in a war-weary time". Uh yeah, the CGI is part of the draw to the movie and this guy is "war-weary"? Stop whining! The movie is entertainment and keep your perspective.
His last paragraph is: "All of which may be beside the point, I know: the kids just want to have fun. Many of them will. But what does that say about another Greek contribution -- Western civilization?" What??? Really? Does anyone believe this movie is supposed to be some history lesson? No, its "blood and thunder", just the kind of fun we want.
Here's a couple of cool links...
