My sister is a film student, and as such, she likes to tell me what I can and can't watch.

According to her, 300 is a gimmicky piece of junk, with only 35 minutes of quality footage.

Incidentally, it seems my entire school happened to watch it over the past week. I feel left out, dudes.

she has what we in the industry call a "pretentious film student" attitude.
I bet she suggests you watch edgy foreign independent films about lesbians coming to grip with their underlying masculinity while staying womanly.
XD
or about two gay cowboys who eat pudding (I swear to god I've seen it. Indie films get WEIRD)

Anyways, the shots may be gimmicky, but you have about three reasons to go see it.
A) Total guy movie. Like, the PERFECT guy movie.
B) Its based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller.
C) Nevermind the Directing (which was great, by the by) The ACTING alone makes it worth seeing. Stupendous job.
I should know, I've taken film classes myself, AND I'm the bloody projectionist at a movie theater. Pretty sure that qualifies me nicely to make a critique about it.
Am I right guys?

B) alone makes me want to see it. Anything by the "Goddamned Batman" guy can only be hilariously violent.
