And Some...

snuffy hubby forgot to mention how much i loved the movie as well.

nevermind the rock hard pecs and physically threatening bodies in loin cloth.

there was plenty of blood and gore, but the cinematography and editing was so bloody brilliant the gory elements simply faded into the background.

the killing was shot in such a beautiful way that it almost looked like the men were dancing instead of spearing their enemies.

the dialogue was surprisingly witty and is a stark contrast to the horribly cliched battle films that've been marketed.

and watch out for the post-movie credits.

the graphics are fantastic.

the last time i felt so overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of a movie was when i watched sin city.

the artistry.

kinda brings me back to the first time i watched "three kings" and was pleasantly surprised by how they followed the path of a bullet through the victim's body, and then lodging itself into his heart.

considering i'm not a big fan of testosterone-filled machismo, i'm VERY impressed by 300.
