Granted, I have a horrendous memory, so that's possibly not saying much. However, I am a sucker for battle scenes. I found myself wishing for more mass combat in LotR every time they "strayed" to the plot (and I thought LotR, in book and movie form, was fantastic). I was very disappointed with LW&W (though I should have expected to be, seeing as it was billed as a kids' movie). I am easily amused and placated by large-scale battles, and 300 did it for me. Within the first, oh, 10 minutes or so, I knew I had to see it again. IMAX, here I come!I was surprised, however, to discover that the plot didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I went into it thinking, "I hope there isn't too much talking and sex!" and came out thinking, "Huh. The talking was fairly well done. It nicely split up the battle scenes." The sex, on the other hand, I am conflicted about. It was well done, and I understand the need, but I still felt it was unnecessary. Yes, that's conflicting, but it's the truth.Was it a perfect film? Of course not. But it was damn good and deserves every centimeter of the 10 I gave it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
