I'm really looking forward to 300, looks great and I'm unburdened by a naturalistic approach to history!

Watched Spiderman on tv last night for the first time--very enjoyable! (Perhaps the wet t-shirt scene was gratuitous.) I hear they get better, too.

It is personal opinion what films people like or dislike, which can stem from a number of factors (e.g. cultural understanding, personal experiences, etc).

Although you did say that some people will criticize things everyone else likes because it makes them look cool and smarter (which might be the case in some circumstances), you still directed that towards specific people, which I think is unjustified.

EDIT: It was even mentioned that "300" was bad before others in the thread mentioned it was good. 😛

A lot of people like to get on the bandwagon because it makes them feel
as if they're part of something bigger. Just look at all the people praising
the crap film 300, you'll see my point. 😛

What's your critique of 300 as a film, historical issues aside?

Actually, I haven't seen it yet. You know how sometimes you see the cover
of a magazine and you just know it's a waste of money? 😵

I know. I know. I should really go see it before I dismiss it completely. It's
just that I'm so turned off by the story I'm afraid it will colour the whole
experience for me. Plus, I've never been much for movies with excessive
battle scenes and visual effects for the effects themselves. It's just... boring
and tedious and I invariably fall asleep in the midst of things. 😞

OK, "300" is a must see movie together with my 9 year old kid.

I was a bit disappointed. It's one of those films that you'd enjoy a whole lot more if you haven't seen the trailer. Most of Frank Miller's best artwork was already shown in it...

Do they let nine-year-olds in to see such violence? I remember at least 3 decapitations. And one rape.

What? You didn't count the dismemberments?

Dismemberments are quite harmless to watch.

Sounds more like he meant his 9 year old kid is a 'must see'... 😕
