Well, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? ^_^;;
Anyway, the movie "300"...
It. Was. AWESOME.
I've been hearing a lot about the movie not really having a plot or story, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm not really that kind of person when it comes to movies. Movies - those that I watch in theaters - should above all attract attention through visuals. This of course is my point of view.
And wow, "300" was a definite "feast for the eyes" (I remember seeing this phrase somewhere, but I forgot exactly where). Beautiful, beautiful BGs, lovely men, awesome-looking Persian army, lovely CG in general. The music was wonderful, too.
Now, the Spartan men. They alone would make up for anything that lacks in the movie. 300 sets of pecs and 6-packs and lovely thighs, wearing nothing but leather briefs and red capes... *droool*
LOL at Xerxes; he was inhuman XD and oozing gay!undertones.
Leonidas (Butler) was awesome, Dilios (Wenham) was adorable XDD, and Stelios (Fassbender)...*faints* was HOTT~ Theron (West) was quite fine, too.
Slash potential? Leonidas/Dilios, Stelios/Astinos, the entire Spartan band...? XD I wish.
The gore/violence was expected and understandable. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, though. Possibly half (more) of the movie consisted of blood, death, severed limbs, etc. But the slow-mo fighting scenes...beautiful and graceful and just yeah...@_@
The sex scene w/ Leonidas and Gorgo was amusing XDD. That's all I'll say on that matter.
The Oracle was AWESOME, too. So beautifully done, and really surreal.
Sooo...yeah. :D
