Anyone who's seen "300"

[terrya]

It's out on DVD. I haven't seen it, but I was wondering about putting it in my Netflix queue.

Is it worth seeing? I've sort of noticed a bit of a homoerotic subtext, but really, that can carry a movie only so far...

1. Yeah

I thought it was definitely worth seeing. Visually, it was really well-done.

Despite the reviews, however, there's very very little homoeroticism in it. Evidently, to many reviewers, spray-painted six-packs are gay.

2. I'm just going by what I've seen of the trailers.

Which is not the most reliable way to judge a film.

I'll add it to my Netflix queue.

Thanks.

3. Get it. How good does it need to be ...

... to go on the NetFix list?
:rofl:

(On the other hand, I had Borat on my NetFix list, which was pretty close to a "negative-number-star" movie. Hmmm, maybe I should add Ishtar to my list, it could have improved with age)

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm getting 300 to see the video work. I think I know how it ends, but I won't spoil it here.

Homoerotic? Dunno. I'm guessing it'll be slanted by thuggish Persiaphobes.

4. It's worth a watch

If you've ever wondered what a disciplined band of Spartan hoplites is capable of doing in battle, it's frankly quite stunning. The film drags a bit after the initial battle scenes, but it's still a fun flick.
