Berlin audiences go crazy over Frank Miller's '300'

February 16th 2007 07:27
Frank Miller 300 Spartan soldier fighting
I've mentioned my burgeoning excitment for the film adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel 300 before.

Leaked footage of the film, though, left me with a bad, grapefruity taste in my mouth, though... too much CGI and over-acting.

Still, we're honour bound to give it a try.

Cinematical reports that Berlin test audiences went insane in the membrane for the film that depicts the bloody Spartan war against the overwhelming numbers of the Persian army.

While the cast is notably absent of any Super-Sized Hollywood egos, the men all look grim enough to be Spartans, and the women, hard and sexy like a well-greased locomotive.

Lena Headey in 300
This image of Lena Headey, for example, is enough to make me send my time machine back to Sparta and risk being thrown over a cliff for being defective. Zow!

I guess I wouldn't stand a chance with those toned Spartan women... I don't have the abs of a soldier, and any of the women could have easily beaten me in a fight.

No, I'd have to settle for being the massage boy, rubbing oil on their battle-weary female muscles, day after day, feeding them grapes, giggling as they playfully lift up my skirt.

Sure, it sounds great now, but wait until you've got carpal tunnel syndrome. No more massages and WHAM! - over the cliff you go. Forget it. Stay right here, right now.


Update: In the comments, Oskar from Berlin watched the film and gave it a 10/10, saying the special effects and sound were thrilling!

Thanks for the info Cib,
Bring it on...I smell blood in the air and I want to see the limbs flies....this is going to be an insane, carnage riddled experience that i hope lives up to the promise of the trailers.

Why does everyone dig people flying over cliffs so much?

I watched the movie in Berlin and it really was breathtaking! Very good special effects, great lighting and stunning pictures. The cinema burst at the seams and the sound was so loud that the floor vibrated.

10 / 10 !
