300

I thought this was better than Transformers, which was an inch from being too dumb and jingoistic to tolerate. In addition to the blood and bone-crunching, I thought 300 was creative and smartly directed.

I picked up a Blu-Ray copy. The fight scenes are incredible from choreography and special effects aspects.

Yeah right, you picked it up to look at abs.

I agree. Seeing the Spartans slice-and-dice their way through the Persians in long, uninterrupted shots was incredible.

300 doesn't have a unique plot, but it pushes the envelope in terms of visual effects and digital cinematography.

HD is HD to me. I just got the PS3 for it. If a device can support 1080p, I'll probably get it.

No I definately got the message that he worshipped his wife and that his duty to his state went above the law if it required to protect his state and the people and I respect that they were able to accomplish that translation of emotions without much dialogue. I thought the movie was very good, I just wasn't as crazy about it as my husband was.

You're right, the sex scene and the mystical nekkid woman scene was definitely catering to the men. I haven't seen Transformers yet but I heard it was pretty good. Its amazing how many of these epic tales turn into movies and are hits.
