I saw the movie; "300" in the theater, after being successfully taunted by the trailer. I am not going to bash the "historical inaccuracies, or even tell you how great I personally think this movie is. I am however going to complain about how terrible the DVD release is! This is a really basic, yet stylized and "eye" candy movie, which I believe has a cult following, and I was excited about the DVD release. I am glad I rented it and didn't blindly purchase it. It is lacking in ANY features to speak of, the picture quality, even up-converted, looks so-so, and the sound is, well kind of bland. looks to me like warner just slapped it on a DVD with no thought behind it, to get it out as fast as possible. Also, I am sure that they are planning on releasing a "special edition" version with more footage, or a miniature replica of a Spartan helmet, in which the extras are either way too plentiful, that you wont watch them,, or still real skimpy with new packaging. I am very disappointed in this DVD. Even if you are a fan of the movie as I am, don't really waste your money on this release, wait 'till Time Warner releases an offering that's worth spending our hard earned money on.
Had to get my two cents in, us "300" fans got short changed kids.
