See it in IMAX. It's absolutely amazing. Me and Nikki are going back to see it in IMAX again. It blows all of those other movies (gladiator, troy, what have you) out of the water. Probably the best movie I've seen this year. Only other movie that could possibly compare was Bridge to Terabithia but I think 300 wins.
Yes it did. It definitely blew away Gladiator. A lot of my friends that haven't seen 300 yet are making fun of me for making such claims, but I just keep telling them to see the movie, THEN talk to me. I can't wait to see it again.
