I just loved 300!! I used to say GLADIATOR was my favorite film but now I love 300 more! What an awesome movie! Yes, better than TROY, better than BRAVEHEART, better than any other "swords and chaos" film that I've seen, I can honestly say that I was fascinated every minute! The script, the costumes and sets, the music, everything was just PERFECT!!!
I was most impressed by the action scenes, they were choreographed very nicely and looked pretty realistic. (OK, OK, the arterial spurt was wrong, there wasn't enough gushing blood and no sword, no matter how sharp, stays sharp long enough for you to hack that many people to death but let's overlook little details like that, OK?)
I own swords and I know it's not easy to swing those babies for long, you really have to be in good shape and these guys really looked it! Like real warriors not the weekend warrior type. I mean, you could believe that they'd been training as warriors since they were kids. I know people say it's all digitally enhanced but I don't care. It looked pretty real when it needed to look real.
OK, there was some gratuitous nudity (young "oracle" in flimsy gown, the Queen of Sparta flashing flesh, the king and queen in the bedchamber) to keep the young, testosterone laden men interested until the carnage but I guess that's only fair as we women were treated to the sight of all these buff guys in skimpy war outfits.
The bad guys were suitably bad, LOL! It cracks me up to see the people posting here at YA that are saying it's an anti-Iranian film or whatever. It's fiction for Pete's sake and it's a good story!! It was told from the viewpoint of a survivor, someone who came back to Sparta and told the story. Of course there will be embellishments!
Ah, but it wasn't just a good story, it was just a spectacular feast for the eyes in many respects and was very inspiring. It was a story about duty and loyalty, courage and honor. Who doesn't like that?
No question, 300 is the best movie of 2007 so far. I've seen several: WILD HOGS, 23, GHOST RIDER, CATCH & RELEASE, MUSIC & LYRICS, DEAD SILENCE.... um, some other horror flick whose name I can't even remember now... in fact, several movies that I can't name now because they were so mundane but 300 is awesome! I'll buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out.

All real actors, but some had much computer manipulation such as the Gollum-like creature, and the huge guy who is chained up. They would have used motion capture with the people, then graphically added and doctored the image. Like someone said, pretty much every background was CGI, thus filmed on a green screen. Great movie!!

you obviously have no taste in movies or concept art. the movie is based of a comic book by frank miller. the comic was based on the 300 Spartans and was not meant to be historically accurate (if your one of those people who complained about that). and the entire movie was made to look like the comic book...just like frank millers other movie and comic Sin City. and the entire movie was pretty much concept art in film and moving. concept art is art used for the beginning stages of making moves, TV shows, and games. they use concept art to get the look of the movies environment and the look and personality of the characters. and concept art is usually very exaggerated only to look artistically pleasing.

Well people have their own opinions. I thought it was pretty good. I liked the cast, the storyline, fight scenes and the graphics, it's far from being 'very bad'. Maybe you slept through the movie?

It was created for fun. Don't watch it again if you didn't like it - learn English instead.
