There were some good shots, and everyone who you'd want to see naked you got to see naked.<BR/><BR/>To eric: Those other movies, Batman and X-Men, are bad examples, if you're going to defend making movies out of comic books. The first Batman was great, yeah, but how about the next 3 or 4? Batman Begins was great but it had nothing to do with the comic book, which is probably why it was good. If you can tell me that either watching or listening to Batman & Robin isn't painful with a straight face then I'll gladly rest my case. The only X-Men movie that was any good was the second one. The difference between this and 300 is that 300 tries to make the movie look like a comic book rather than just use it as source material for your run-of-the-mill movie.<BR/><BR/>I also hoped for better, and it could've been a better movie, but I think the visuals, bare bones plot, and cool battle scenes count for something.<BR/><BR/>To anonymous: sorry dude, you're right, it was Elijah Wood, that other short, fair-skinned, soft-voiced, elfish looking guy.

You know what other movies were made from comic books, Batman and X-Men. While there isn't Sorkin-esque banter in either of those movies, it isn't painful to listen to the actors speak either. The dialog in those movies actually advances the plot. In 300, it retards it. <BR/><BR/>I may just be bitter because I hoped for more given that the visuals could have made this a great movie. You can't say it's good based on the visual effects alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14494764232956446171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17748515.post-9442367580121065992007-03-14T16:50:00.000-05:002007-03-14T16:50:00.000-05:00ah, I see I initially missed your bare boobs obser...ah, I see I initially missed your bare boobs observation.<BR/><BR/>Assuming the bare boobs were not manboobs, can you offer a follow-up analysis of the boobs, as well as any other gratuitous nudity.F.J.
