Im an avid Raja sen fan,and to all those who've written those snide remarks about him clearly havent read his earlier reviews. You are confusing him with another reviewer from a popular bollywood website,who gives KANK and Krish a 4/5. Raja's reviews are quite objective and impartial and let me just remind you that we all have different tastes and choices,lets learn to appreciate and respect it. So what if Raja didnt like 300 and gave it a 2.5/5(Im sure he has his reasons)and for all those who loved the film you can definitely have your say,but that doesnt mean you have to be abusive. Ive been watching these comments for a while and it hurts to see how intolerant some people could be to other's views and opinions.Well,for those who thinks,Im Raja Sen myself :) well,Im not,Im just a connoisseur of good cinema and to quote one of my favourite directors - "A good cinema is like any other works of art, like painting, dance, theatre, literature etc. No work of art directly or indirectly change society or human beings. However cinema has the power to influence the human mind. Talking about good cinema... I believe that any act of a human being committed with sincerity and conviction is good. So is the case with cinema, if it is born out of one's conviction, it cannot but be good"

its isnt about Raja writing reviews... its about how critic should approach... a topic...
first this movie doesnt depict history i mean its is honestly told as inspired by frank Miller 300. now we know that isnt a true to fact comic
secondly about dialouges and script ... its a genre of graphic novels they are treated differently from other comic adaptations... look at sincity it was also edgy and this too has the same edginess.
what was the challenege like again in sin city ..... that would the director would be able to do a comic books adaptation well or not.....
we all know how otherwise a comic book or novels adaptations are disaster... so for being a critic of 300 the movie... u ought to be well versed or critic of 300 the comic. now if u have issues with comic then dont carry that baggage when u write the review for a movie which is inspired by it....
its isnt about good or bad cinema .. just by script... its lot of elements to it ...... i have never seen a movie treated so beautifully..... a releam of animation n reality mixing so beautifully that some times am not sure whats what it seems so surreal ... its almost like a Pink Floyd or The Doors rock show where u just dont expect music but also the theaterics lights action along with it.....
but then... as u say he is sincere with his review.... and talk about conviction and sincerity ...... am sure ... 100% sure all the people writing feedback are also sincere when they are against him.... and are with the Spartans......

You hit the nail on the head Antz.. Anup is just some stupid guy who's been talking good about Raja Sen since the movie released. Hope its not Raja Sen himself with a fake name. Amyways, the movie is awesome. Love the action, love the drama, love the graphics. The director and producers have worked hard to get the best they can achieve out of a stringent budget. For the facts, this movie was made on a budget 10 times lesser than the budget of LOTR-part one. So you can imagine what an awesome piece of work they have done with it. Thats one of the main reasons why you dont see any big stars in this movie, Cos the producers couldnt afford any. And they have already earned half the money they spent on the first day US release itelf. $70MILLION. So now you know that the movie is doing absolutley well and its a Box Office Runaway Hit. About the graphics and fantasies, guess thats why someone like Anup must have watched Harry Potters and LOTR's.
