I just got back from seeing it on the IMAX. I enjoyed it immensely. I enjoyed it to the point where I feel like ramming a 10 foot pike down the throat of the next yuppie who feels like criticizing this movie for not having enough character or plot development. How moronic do you need to be to watch a movie like 300 (with all the hype, too) and EXPECT some sort of melodramatic oscar performance? This isn't a movie about King Leonidas. This isn't a movie about a long, drawn-out war. This is a movie about A BATTLE. A BATTLE! If you know that much, you get what you ask for and you get it good.

After watching it, I begin to wonder if the people criticizing the abundance of "flesh" might be the insecure type. What's the matter? Can't look at a beautifully shaped human body (much less a few dozen of them) on a movie screen without complaining? I gotta be honest... if all men in movies looked that good, I might have to add a point to my Kinsey scale rating. Though, to save me, the oracle girl was beautiful in her own special way. A great visual scene, that one.

Don't be bitching about character and plot development. To quote a review I saw on rotten tomatoes: You don't go to Hooters for the chicken wings, and you don't go to 300 for the plot intricacies.
