I wasn’t arguing that movies AREN’T about the visuals, I was saying that movies aren’t JUST about the visuals.

Take for example, The Spirit. Definitely pretty to look at, but that’s about it. The rest of it was vapid and souless. The same goes largely for 300.

I loved 300 and yes, movies first and foremost are about visuals. Story telling is a very close second but visuals are key to a good movie. The very nature of the medium makes it so. Duh!! Those that don’t think so may want to turn off the dvd player and go read a book.

That having been said, I am wary about Hollywood sequels because they often times don’t even try to come up with a good story. If they happen to make this sequel worthy of its predecessor then I’m all for it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

First off, No movie is flawless.

Secondly, 300, just like the more recent Transformers, rides mostly on it’s visuals. While 300 DID have some of the other stuff, AKA – Non-Visuals, it didn’t execute them at all well. The result is a pretty but shallow and transparent piece of entertainment.

But if you like that, go crzy.

“Movies are about far more than visuals.”

Not 300.
This movie did exactly what it was supposed to do, bring the Frank Miller comic to the screen, and it did so flawlessly.

Yeah, Snyder seems to think blood, gore and sex make an “adult” movie. 300 was one of the most hillarious movies I’ve seen in a while. It actually tries to present itself seriously (Pit of Death???). The self-righteous narration and the homosexual Persian king with Spartans who wear absolutely NO chest armor (smart eh?). If the sequel is just as funny then it’s got my money.

How am I not making any sense? Faithfullness doesn’t improve a movie. If most of the juvenile material in 300 came from the graphic novel, then it is either Snyder’s fault for sticking too close or the graphic novel’s fault. Then again, if the intent was for the film to be taken serious then it is nothing short of hillarious.
