Really? I've heard mixed reviews on it, but it looked pretty wicked to me. I'm a bit of a graphic novel geek, though....

Most of the "mixed" reviews I caught are from movie critics. It's always lame, vague, and pretentious comments like "the movie is a literary toxic wasteland" or "the movie is pure eye-candy and nothing more than a CGI-orgy."

See? I can be a movie critic too.

I'd love to catch it again in IMAX. This is a 10/10 movie.

It was pretty sweet, pure eye candy, acting was a bit over the top, and it seemed like they repeated the same lines over and over still one of the best this year, I liked sin city better, but this is a totally different style

Cannot wait - I'm a huge Miller fan and I greatly enjoyed Sin City. Shame that Rodriguez or Tarrintino didn't do this one, but hey - Still going to enjoy it, now just to figure out WHEN!!

Saw this with a couple of friends this weekend. Excellent movie, but it really is a "Guy" movie, with lots of blood, guts, and "glory"!!! Left the wife at home & glad I did because she wouldn't have liked it very much. The effects are great, especially the slow-mo fight scenes.

Sorta like what one critic said, "It's like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, WITHOUT the Hobbits, elves looking soulfully into each other's eyes, the journey through the swamp....."

We thought it was more a mix of Braveheart & Lord of the Rings (CG fight scenes). Well worth watching on the big screen.

I was thinking it was more like "Battle of Helms Deep" but for the entire movie, maybe with about 5 minutes tacked onto the beginning to give some preamble. "Ok blah blah blah, here are the Spartans, blah blah blah gratuitous boob shot or two, blah blah blah. Ok, now go fight the invading Persian hoardes! 300 people versus several hundred thousand, blah blah blah, zing zang clang clatter boom crash, everybody dies, gratuitous touching scene involving son of king, blah blah blah the end."

Maybe with a few good visuals thrown in for good measure. Blah blah blah elephants, blah blah giant rhino, a few weird looking mutants and some more concubines. Whee!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I just sorta ... it wasn't the "best" movie I've ever seen and well, I guess I can say it's the "best movie I've seen in the theatre this year" because, well, .. it's the only movie I've seen in the theatre this year!
