Miller’s movie opens to accolades
IESB reports that the movie adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel 300 received a standing ovation at its world premiere last night at the Berlin Film Festival. "The screening was interrupted again and again by spontaneous applause and cheers from the 1700 strong audience," adds the movie site. This would seem to jibe with earlier mostly positive reviews by folks who have seen sneak previews, including Len Wein and Marv Wolfman, and fly in the face of the chorus of boos reported at the earlier press screening.
