300 Spartans movie

[lussigagas]

300 is a great movie full of visual effects and graphics which made it different and much better.
Acting was great, director did a wonderful job and chose great actors, full of action, and it is based on a true story.

I saw this actually :) I really enjoyed it and the CGI was amazing.
Don't really remember much of the plot, I got a tad distracted by Gerard Butler's (Leonidas) six pack.
Has anyone else seen his amazing performace in the Phantom of the Opera movie?

*raises her hand* I have! My mates were drooling over him - I personally preferred Patrick Wilson's Raoul, but Gerrard is definitely an excellent actor. He also did a surprisingly competent job in the lead role, considering he wasn't a classically trained singer like Patrick and Emmy.

[QueenOfHearts_07]

I know. I think him and Minnie Driver were the only ones in the whole movie that weren't classically trained. Minnie Driver had someone else doing all of her singing. I though he did a great job as the Phantom-there was so much emotion in that performance that just really made you feel sorry for the Phantom and everything that had happened to him

You know, I don't think I can single out any one favourite aspect of the production. Everything was top-notch, the costumes, the sets, the performances, the choreography, the music, the editing, the costumes... I said that already, didn't I?

^^ Sorry, I dabble in fashion design, so the film's visuals were a feast! Would you believe me if I said I would kill for some of those costumes?

[QueenOfHearts_07]

I would definetly believe you-I adored Emmy Rossum's costume from The Point of No Return. It was a fantastic movie in my opinion :) I love the main Opera House set also, it was just stunning and the way they executed the chandelier crash was amazing to watch

[Lady_Melisma]

Most definitely agree with you there! But shifting back to the original topic - I haven't seen 300 yet. Doubt I shall until it comes out on DVD... is it really as gory as some of my mates are claiming?

[QueenOfHearts_07]

It's not really gory. It's only a 15 so they couldn't really go OTT with the gore but most of the blood was put in with CGI anyway-you can't really tell it's there :)

[Lady_Melisma]

Yeah, I'm one of those squeamish types... Blood in large quantities (real or otherwise) tends to make me ill. It's why I left the biosciences/medical career path, I'm reading History now.

I know exactly what you mean

Me + Saw 3 which I watched last night = Not a good combo :D

That movie is AWFUL. The plot is pure genius but the 3rd movie is definetly the worst out of all 3

yaeh saw is awful. good plot idea, but ruined by its overall grossness. actually, in my point of veiw, 300 is awful too. i'm probably the only 1 her though. :D

I just saw 300 this weekend. Yes. I know. I'm behind the times here. I was slightly disappointed in it. The artistic style was very cool and I loved Gerry Butler's performance, but it didn't live up to the hype for me. I could connect with any of the characters to care about their outcome. There wasn't much by the way of character development. I felt for KL and his wife. I suppose we were supposed to love and admire the Spartans as a whole and connect with them on that level. Just didn't work for me.

As for Saw 1-4. Bleh! Not my sort of movies...
