Comments on: Movie Review: 300 http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/03/09/movie-review-300/ Blogging the Reel World Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:52:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Israel Groveman http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/03/09/movie-review-300/#comment-309708 Israel Groveman Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:46:22 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/03/09/movie-review-300/#comment-309708 I don't know Peter, I agree with what you are saying about the character development, could have been much better, and some of the dialogue and speeches are so cliche, copied, and forced they are embarassing, but I disagree with your points about gay-bashing. One thing I liked about the film in our soft, comfortable, effeminate culture was that it wasn't afraid to be macho, heroic, or politically incorrect. That is amazing, coming from any source these days. It is ok to disagree with the gay lifestyle and not swallow it whole - your review is an example of how even the slightest hint of not fully accepting homosexuality as totally normal seems to give the average person these days rights to insult the intelligence of the person who is objecting on a moral basis - or maybe just on the basis of some teary-eyed sentimental missing of true, testosterone based male identity. I find it quite revealing that you knee-jerk to the thought police and call the sentiments in the film ones that only appeal to "the lowest common denominator." In pagan times they did not question homosexuality - but they didn't pretend like it was normal and anyone who noticed it wasn't.

Of course a person who was born a country with 400 years of history whose incestors were wild indians is not qualified to make a film. Unfortunately USA is a country in which the more stupid you are , the more films you can make !! You proved how jealous americans are of the great civilization we have.

This movie was a HUGE missed shot. C'mon now. Compared to all the other great war movies this is the worst. At no time did you EVER see 300 Spartans in battle, they could have CGI'd them or something. It felt like the focus of the battles were on about 3 or 4 guys in a side scrolling mannor who slaghtered more and more enimies. I felt like I was watching somebody play Streets of Rage II I TOTALLY AGREE. This movie was a HUGE missed shot. C’mon now. Compared to all the other great war movies this is the worst.

Sad, really . The final shots are so powerful that, had I cared at all, would have moved me tremendously. A real missed shot. I agree entirely … beautiful but empty. Sad, really .
