300: Spartan Hotties Versus Persian Trannies

I wish I could take credit for this title, but alas, it’s Nathan Lee’s title for his not-so-nice review of 300:
village voice > film > 300: Spartan Hotties Versus Persian Trannies by Nathan Lee
Man on Man Action: It’s Spartan hotties versus Persian trannies in Zack Snyder’s far-too-faithful Frank Miller adaptation
It’s a pretty funny read, but a rather poor excuse for a review, as it finds nothing but flaws in 300, many of which seem to be projected onto the film by the writer’s own particularly anti-graphic novel world view. I mean, God forbid a film remains faithful to that which it is attempting to depict!
Thanks to Mags for forwarding this article to me.

300 is getting more good press than it deserves. I just did a review of 300 over at Highbrid Nation is you care to read it. In the end it was just another movie that did not live up to the hype to me. Can we say “poor man’s Gladiator”? Most people will likely disagree with me though, lol

Good review. I think yours is much more fair handed than the one I posted about above.

I was quite surprised to head my wife coming home and raving about it. I’m going to see it sometime this week, but for her, an avowed anti-comic book hero, that was really something.
