Okay, I am a wimp! I tried to watch 300 in its entireity, but alas, I am weak, and knowing how it ends, I did not want see it.

However, to do it justice, I saw most of the war scenes between the Spartans and Xerxes's army. It is a fantastic piece of art form. Any scene (at least the point till I was inclined to see), can be frozen in time, to become a wall art. Is that good? Is that bad? I don't know, and I really don't care too much. Visually, it is very appealing. The varying speeds of the film during the fight scenes has the effect of concentrating ones attention to a very specific target. The target could be the tip of the spear, an expression of face, the spurt of blood or simply the wisp of a light garment. I loved the treatment, loved the true levels of red achieved in this film. Soundtrack, memorable, but nothing to write home about.Total eye candy, Gerald Butler and his six pack abs!

Despite all that, I could not bring myself to finish seeing the movie. Me not completing a movie does not happen often. So, then why? I think I completely hate the fact of betrayals. It makes me wish to make a trip back in time and throttle their throats!
