300 is a banquet of eye candy… a feast of stimulation and a plethora of violence and perverse imagery as well…I love it. I hate it. I dont know what to think!
#1, I am madly in love with Gerard Butler! I think this is what the original man looked like, surely this is what G-d created! Let me tell you. He is SUPER fine! I rarely go GA GA… i have been mildly gaga (lowercase g’s) for George Clooney in the past.. but this is GA GA, capital G captial A rinse and repeat as needed, over the top!
Aside from that… (I will curb my drool for a moment) the film is dirty, striking, masculine and no-holds-barred… it is not for you if you have a weak stomach or an aversion to violence – heads DO roll amoung other body parts… but if you make it through that, there is actually quite a lot of fun to be had…
I think on the negative side.. the odds kept growing and growing and after a while you no longer believed these men could prevail, but in the end, you had to suspend disbelief at the door to even pledge to the concept.. so you are either in all the way, or not…
There are a ton of really hot guys in this film, but Gerard just outshines them all..
Perhaps an Oscar for best Special Effects and one for Best Hunks…
YUMMY!
