8783- 300. what-ev'.

[scottobear]

Sooo... I saw 300 with BHK and Tina.

Long story short - I was bored by the movie.

It was a gladiator movie with some nifty visuals... but I feel that maybe I should've read the comic first for more appreciation of transfer of scenes to film.

Not sure what I was expecting, but I really got a general sense of ho-hum from the whole thing... I wasn't engaged at all by the story. Some nifty phalanx action, but that's about it. I can't get into the high speed / slow mo combat stylings.

Had supper at Chevy's - they serve a mountian of food. Not bad, though the Mexico has a better selection of veggie options.

"I was bored by the movie"

Wowee, you're the first person I've heard say that. I've had a feeling it will bore me, too.

I also don't like blood all over the place. I imagine 300 will be like what watching Saving Private Ryan was for me....eyes shut 50% of the time.

It takes a lot to bore me, too! I suspect that I was expecting more or just something different than what I got - It had all sorts of things I should really get into, at least on a superfical level.. cool costumes, mutants, elepants, fights and war.. not to mention the occasional nekkidness of pretty people, too.

but it was a meh for me, despite it.

Sorry you were bored with 300, Scotto. Perhaps you would have been more engaged if you had seen 1 through 299. Personally, I am looking forward to the sequel, but I don't know if it will be called 301 or 300 2.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

me too... that's ok, I bet 300-2: electric boogaloo will be so much more!

i liked 300, but i fully admit it may be because of the nakedness of the 300. it got me hot.. under the collar. yup, the collar. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

it was ABbsolutely ABulous!

[phillykat.livejournal.com]

oh i like that! twas thighlicious, too. Yeah!! my description for 300 will be thighliciously abulous!

I rather liked it, but I can see not, I went in with low expectations so that might of helped and like I said the preponderance of bombastic speeches was little hard to sit through at times.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think that I was just expecting something else... even if I'm not sure *what* I was expecting.

Just not that.

coolio fights, and some angles/whatnot, but it just didn't hook me in.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is.

I think my favorite is "Tonight We Dine in Hell, Tomorrow I'm Thinking Arby's"
