Movie Reviews in Hell

[selenite0]

Just saw 300 tonight. I came away with a vision of how the first showing must've gone over in Hell:

Shade of Spartan NCO-type: "That was frigging ridiculous! Where was the rest of the army? The Persians looked nothing like that, we all had decent breastplates, and we never broke formation like that!"

Shade of Leonidas: "Shut up and get me more popcorn! That was frigging fantastic! When's the next showing? I gotta see this again!"

Best description I've heard so far: "It's about the war between the Scots and the Go'a'uld" referring to Gerard's Braveheart accent and rhetoric as well as Xerxes' appearance more like Ra from Stargate then a B.C. Persian. If his eyes had started glowing, I would not have been a bit surprised.

americanstd and just saw it over the weekend. He had the NCO type's reaction, I had Leonidas's. He complained he couldn't suspend the disbelief, I was too busy having a whale of a time. Even electorprince liked it aplenty, he reported in his other blog, and he's a huge Sparta fan.

Didn't see it, but Brian did.

Aside from the bit with the queen and some minor historical inaccuracies, he liked it.

My husband and I went to see it: Terrific stuff. I'm so glad I got to see it on the big screen.
