300 was a better movie than zodiac could ever wish to be in its wildest fantasies


So Potter, being the confused,balding,slightly retarded mormon that he is, decided to change his feelings on 300 on a couple days of reflection. I'm here to tell you he is a little female dog. While 300 does have some shortcomings in terms of character development and the story isn't super intricate or complex. But you have to realize it was taken from a graphic novel that is about a hundred pages long...that isn't exactly the best source material to start with. I think you have to look at 300 for what it is and not compare it to other movies, which sounds stupid but it really was made to try and be as faithful as possible to the Frank Miller novel. And in that goal it was a brilliant success. I had the chance to glimpse over the actual graphic novel ( our school bookstore randomly had a copy of it) and the movie recreates it almost frame for frame. 300 was also made to be completely stunning visually, and it most definitely was...from the first battle to the last rain of arrows, 300 is a graphical epic. I disagree with Potter 100 percent. I would gladly pay to see 300 again and again.

While I have not seen 300, if it was made to be visually stunning and only for that purpose, could we say that 300 is to movies what Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan are to music?
