300 Falls short of expectations
by SHADAB KHAN on Mar 17, 2007 01:27 AM   Permalink

For once, i agree with Raja Sen , 300 's trailer was much more exciting than the 300 the movie ! .
i didnt expect a landmark historical epic when i went in to see 300 , i was expecting some real fun
with lot of visual candy with eye popping effects and loads of adrenaline rush , but the experience of watching 300 was quite underwhelming . it delivered so little , maybe
my expectations were set too high .
There were lot of cliched lines about freedom , honor , justice etc which we've heard thousands of time.
Action was good , looked unique at first but got repetitive , with the 300 heroes jumping again and again
slashing persian throats . The whole CGi thing keeps you from getting involved , you know back of your head that actors just reacting in front of blue screen .

Frankly too much sound and fury and nothing much else .
