300 was based on a Graphic Novel, it wasn’t meant to look real! The Director and Producers had no intention on trying to make the Film 300 believable! It was a truely artistic film and conquered that feel!
Blood in Chunks… Graphic Novel!
Slow motion… To Convey Graphic Novel!
The Characters were created in the Graphic Novel’s image of them!
Please do your research before you judge a movie and critisize it!

Now, on the note of a Gears of War Film… The interaction of the audience with the film would be divided and much controversy would build up. The Actions of the characters would be hated by some and loved by others… it would be very iffy… Every try to play a game and have the person next to you stay quit without telling you what to do… highly unlikely!

I thought it looked to fake, the blood never stayed on the ground. It just went in chunks and suddenly disappeared.

I’m glad others think that 300 was quite pathetic… Completely agree that it’s a 2 hours music video, or advertisment for some ab workout… But kids loved it, of course.

300 was overrated, the plot and dialogue sucked donkey balls, constant shouting and slow mo’s does not make a film cool. the fights were the only good bits, however short, few and awkward as they were.

I am not talking about that kind of movie … I am talking about something like Advent Children …. that was an exceptionally well done movie and it was all cgi (not hand animated/illustrated). And yes I do think you may be one of the few people who think 300 is overated … I love that movie and the artistic style created by Frank Miller.

Problem with CGI-only movies is that they look, well, fake, really fake. And it takes a very long time to do all the animation etc. (for 300 it took over a year).

Btw, am I the only one who thinks 300 is far too overrated? There’s no plot, no real characters, there’s nothing really going on besides the battles – the whole movie is like a 2 hour music video. I bet you who ever made 300 used to make music videos… or TV ads… or something similar.

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised … the budget for this movie is going to be like $300 if they want to do it right and I didn’t think Hollywood would take such a big gamble on a video game movie. They really would be better off making the movie a 100% CGI movie …. then for far less money you could have an excellent movie where nothing would have to be sacrificed.
