300

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Daaamn, I saw 300 last night on the cinema, and it kicked ass.. I actually want to see it again today!

I had high expectations after the last Frank Miller based movie (Sin City), and tough 300 started out kind of slow, it really lived up to this expectation.

The story itself is pretty simple, but it’s filled with excellent characters and lots of beautiful violence :)

The movie has received some criticism for not being historically correct, and for making Persian or ‘The Glorious Nation of Iran’ look like a bunch of barbarian monsters.
First of all, of course it’s not very historically correct.. It is a story about 300 heroic good-guys fighting hordes of bad-guys, if I wanted to watch Discovery or National Geographics I would have stayed at home.
And regarding Irans complaint.. What the hell?? they complain that a fictional movie about Persians 2500 years ago make them look bad? I really doubt the vacation paradise that is Iran is going to lose any respect from the rest of the world because of this movie.. The same reason I can’t loose my giant pink elephant.
