300

Saw it and really enjoyed it. Watched the midnight showing Thursday night and the whole theater was hyped.

Hmm, I wonder when "300" Workout and Diet routines will start taking over the web.

I'll probably see this movie with some friends in cinema, might be worth the ticket.

Am I the only one that has no desire whatsoever to see this movie?

You have no desire to see it? I'm not very hyped about it and never have been, the whole thing looked silly to me since I saw the first trailer. But I do have the desire to see it still, if just for the over-the-top action. After seeing the Rottentomatoes score, I have a little less desire but still some nonetheless.

EDIT: Quote from the New York Post review of 300 --

Keeping in mind Slate's Mickey Kaus' Hitler Rule -- never compare anything to Hitler -- it isn't a stretch to imagine Adolf's boys at a 300 screening, heil-fiving each other throughout and then lining up to see it again.

Hahaha sometimes I love reviewers.

my parents actually saw it...my mom said it was 'pretty good but too violent' and my dad said he 'liked it, some really great action scenes'

I thought it looked like a big dumb action movie that would appeal to Myspace's young hip crowd (they sure were plugging the movie quite a bit)...

Then I found out it was based on another Frank Miller 'graphic novel' (Sin City was fun) and directed by the guy who did the Dawn of the Dead remake (one of the few decent remakes) and I became slightly more intrigued...

But I'm not too huge on brainless over-the-top action... Soo...
Maybe I'll see it eventually...

Here's a clip of one of the action sequences, likely to put hair on your chest while watching.

Also, don't assume that just because the movie features some incredible violence and action that it completely lacks any form of intelligence. There's a well written and real entertaining story to be seen.

At no point in time did I find the movie to be dumb.

How violent exactly is it? Can you give me a comparison?
