even though i can be quite the sadistic freak of nature, this is with regards to 300. i am still in most cases... erms.. cultured.
i didnt quite get the overt show of breasts. yes, granted, they are nice looking breasts. but nice looking breasts of 10 or so people in various scenes is IMOH unnecessary. plus once you started thinking "oh, they're just another pair of breasts", whatever contribution they are supposed to make to the storyline is lost.
i love the beheading scenes. not entirely realistic but wonderfully done. plus the subtle poignancy can be felt.
must catch for those who like epic-ish movies. due to the larger than life-ness, sin city, with fundamentally flawed characters, still wins. the context of why i ended watching is kinda weird and singaporean enterprises should stop trying to freeze all the people to death. which is partially why i am going to watch it again properly. it was enjoyable all the same.
