300
Double Sided UK Quad, Rolled, 30 x 40 inches
300 is fun watch if you take it at face value as a daft action romp. It's historically inaccurate and some found the crude caricatures offensive; it's as shallow as the Frank Miller comic it's based on. Synder makes good (over) use of slo-mo and buff men (shouty Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender the stand outs). The post-processing gives the film an interesting look and Xerxes is charismatic enough to have garnered a spin off film. The quad sums up the shouty, in your face blood and thunder battles…hard to see Butler in that pose and not hear “THIS IS SPARTA!” in your ears. |
