Watched the movie last week and I think its awesome. Love the acting and costume. Who else love the movie?
I am so desperate to see it! I am going to watch it this weekend with friends. I love the graphic-novel-to-screen adaptations that have come out in the last couple of years. Outstanding examples being Sin City and V for Vendetta.
I've seen it twice. Once at the regular theater and once at the IMAX. It's much better at the IMAX! I'm a big Frank Miller fan and love the way it was filmed. It's like Gladiator and Sin City combined.
They should have made 300 a mini-series. Of course, that doesn't make so much money. The movie is ok, the fight scenes are great, but the story and characters are undeveloped. Since many critics compare it to a video game, I would say "300 is the Gears of War" of movies, if you played this xbox title. It looks great, spectacular etc., the fighting is great, bu it lacks everything else.
I havent seen it because the last movie i saw that Frank miller made: 'sin city' was really really bad ..... But i quess i would see it later
The older movies based on the "Battle of Thermopyylae" had a more realisitic portrayal....for example the Persian King Xerxes: in 300 he is portrayed as a bisexual punk! But all in all great picturization and action in 300!
Holly, That's what I like about Frank Miller adaptations. They are so over the top, they draw you into an alternate world of reality where you live for a couple of hours. Love it! bacanze, The movie opens today in the UK.
I must admit, I didn't like it. Sure it has great special effects and state of the art fight scenes, but I'm kinda history buff and I really hate when history is exploited in such a way. Fun to watch but otherwise no value (especialy historical).
That's because this movie is actually based off of a book which is a fantasy version of the battle of Thermopylae. I haven't seen it yet but I want to!
