aimeekittymore stuff on ebay
pluses:
-- the queen was awesome.
-- I cared about the characters
-- men being MEN!
-- other than a few choice scenes (that were seriously EW) the violence/gore wasn't that bad
-- some of the action cooreography was OMGYEAY awesome (which basically meant that the film delivered what it said it was)
-- I do believe that there are some things worth fighting and dying for.
negatives:
-- what was up with the sometimes grainy, sometimes not film? it was seriously distracting to me
-- that wolf was extremely retarded. I'm sorry.
-- I love faramir, but that voice over was cheesy to me.
-- some of the shot choices and cutting felt a little too forced to me.
-- the deformed people and "monster-types" were almost comically weird. I mean really.
-- what was up with the huge amount of boobies 15 sexual positions?
-- I didn't really buy xerxes or the emmissaries... they seemed too comic-booky to me. I wanted xerxes to be all Ra from stargate, but he came off as just kinda weird. this was one of the many parts of the movie where I was like "... hrm. that was almost cool"
-- I would have really loved the oracle scene if it wasn't all "LOOK AT MY BOOB". I know that totally makes me a prude, but I guess the nipplage was distracting me from her beauty. I love that they did it as an underwater scene. Mitch didn't notice, but I could tell from her mouth that that's how they probably did it.
-- hello gladiator wife-barley ending with ethnic deadcandance singing?
-- why was there not even a paragraph of text at the end explaining what happened AFTER the movie? explaining just how much those 300 meant to the turning of the battle? I would have liked to have scene troops rallying from various areas because of the 300, or at least a paragraph at the end saying basically that xerxes was all "omg... spartans are scary" and ended up loosing. there just wasnt enough historical context at the end for me.
final negative:
at least 10 kids under six were in the audience. HOLY CRAP what are their parents thinking. And to make it worse, the kids were totally quiet. never cried or made any scared or disturbed comments, etc...
which means those kids have seen plenty of movies like this before and they're used to it. I'm seriously scared for the next generation.
overall? I'm glad I saw it. It gave me what it advertised. I really really liked parts of it. There were just a great number of things I would have liked to have seen them do better.
