300 gives reviewer a healthy, manly feel
By Justin Grathwohl, Staff Writer
Date: April 18th, 2007
To sum up this movie in a nutshell it'd be "this is the manliest movie ever."
With all the action and violence you'll walk out of the theater with a beard and a new crop of chest hair despite what your gender may be.
However, going into this movie expecting a deep, intertwined story is a huge mistake. This movie does not require one, it's that awesome.
The movie is based off of Frank Miller's graphic novel (comic book to some) 300 and reflects heavily on it.
Some may point out historical inaccuracies but since the movie isn't based on history but a graphic novel and it has characters with giant blades for arms, it's pretty easy to get past those inaccuracies.
