Re: 300

Saw it and didn't love it sadly. I know the story of Thermopalye (or however its spelled) and it stayed fairly close to it, but the problem with that story is that not much happened but one solid stand against the entire Persian army. Excellent act 2/3 for a movie, but not really a 3 act story arc you need to make a movie. The visuals stand on their own merit and the action sequences were of course teh shizz, but as an entire movie package, the storyline fell short imo.

Still a great job by Frank Miller on a benchmark in filmaking, but Sin City was way ahead of 300 as far as storyline is concerned. I'm sure the graphic novel does well by it though
