Watching 300 for the 1st time

Well you're watching so...you tell us

I enjoyed it

Good movie. Works best with surround sound though.

I only watched it about 3-4 times in the theaters, and 10 times at home.

I might like it

I loved it... Much better on the big screen, but still good none the less

Solid movie. Nothing special.

It's awsome. Love that movie. It's not all about the action in the battle. Is about the heart and will of Spartans. And the action is really good as well

Is it worth watching?

IMO yes it is even if you know the event in history it's based on.

I feel it's an excellent interpretation and Gerard Butler as Leonidas did exceptional work, actually all the actors did.

Frankly the look of the film is worth it's viewing.
Larry Fong is the cinematographer and the director Zack Snyder teamed to create a very different visual effect throughout.
Fong pioneered it and calls the technique, "the Crush", basically highlights/shadow are manipulated in such a way to create that "other-worldly", or however you would describe the unique look of the film, and I feel it works quite well creating the landscape of this epic that is presented.

I watched it in the theatre expecting a "Gladiator" or "Braveheart" type movie and was really disapointed. I watched it again at home and knew what it was "a special effects war movie" and it was pretty good.

Worth watching? Yes.

Good movie? No.

First time I watched it I loved it. Thought it was masterful. Second time I saw it I realized that I was overcome with excitement and how cool the movie looked and how I had just read the comic and all that when I first saw it. After that, I realized it's a pretty thin, plodding mess with more style than substance and after a while, even the style gets old.

But I fricking hate Zack Snyder's movies. Except for Watchmen, I think he is a pretty poor director in everything else he's done.
