It's finally here! My darkhorse pick for my favorite movie of the year. Who else is planning on seeing it? If you are, why? Do you love sandle epics, i.e. Gladiator or Troy? Are you seeing it for the stylized look of the film? Are you a hopeless graphic novel geek like me? Or is your reason for seeing it Gerard Butler? Jim, I'm looking at you! ;)
For more information about the movie, check my earlier
post from last year or visit the movie's
website where you can see trailers or download wallpapers of Gerard Butler's chizzled physique - Jim, still with the looking! ;)
Also, here is a nice
review of the film.

Are you implying that I am a shallow manwhore who does naught but stare at hunky men?!
(It's funny cuz it's true.)
Let's see if I can keep the order straight...
I am.
'cause.
If they're done well.
Am curious about the stylized look.
No, I'm merely a High-Grader.
Not particular about Butler in a physical sense. Leading ladies now that's different...
It is true that I did enjoy the graphic novel style in Sin City, and that is probably the lynchpin for going and seeing the movie in the theatres. I do also enjoy the epic war movie and am facinated by Greek culture especially the Spartans, though I don't know how close they will be representing Spartan culture.
So yes to all, because Butler is definitely a favorite actor and I think he'll do a good job.
P.S. I wonder if Prof. Phil Holt will show this movie in his Classical Greek Civilization class now?
I want to be excited, but... I've been burned too many times. I'll be excited afterwards.
Ok - so now that I've seen it, I'm not all that excited. It's not likely to make its way onto my list of favorite sword-slinging movies. I could quibble about inaccurate armor and weaponry, but it goes deeper than that - I just didn't like the way the story was told. Visually stunning, but there was something missing - I didn't care about any of the characters all that much...
*sighs and shakes head*
Jaded, jaded old man. ;)
