First review of "300"


Recommended Posts

Spielo ever made an opinion of your own? I saw it, yes it was a bit over exaggerated but why would I care, it was a fun enjoyable film and I have no complaints. The visual style was a nice change and no complaints there. I've recommended to all family friends etc. and no complaints from there. Yes this is my opinion blah blah blah so don't go jumping on my back for being a 'fanboi' and a 'gayer'...

I finally rented it, to see what all the excitement was about. I really wanted to like it, I loved 'Sin City', and I really wanted to at least like the '300'. Wow, I never was so bored. I wanted to stop half-way through and go to bed, but stayed-up to see if anything good happened. Nothing ever did. I guess the problem was that I never really cared for the characters. Whether they lived or died, it really didn't matter, and that was kind of the crux of the movie.

This was one over-rated movie!

Maybe movies seem different if you watch them later, and not during the time all of your peers are saying, "ZOMG11"

Now I'm dreading renting 'Transformers', after all the hype on Neowin!

I watched this last night, and was blown away. Wow. So epic.

The actors had such force and power, the film was beautiful (i swear you could pause it at any time and the image would be beautiful), and although it was 2 hours where no real story was told, it was 2 epic hours of nothing much happening, which more than compensates.

It sure as hell rocked. 5/5

It looked like 80% of the movie was CGI. I wonder if the men's "perfect" body was also CGI./quote]

You are correct about the CGI, except the "perfect" body part :) I read somewhere they went intensive training for a month? or 2 months - to get that body..man, I wish I were picked to play in that movie, then I have a motivation to get muscles like that ^^

to be honest, 300 bored me to death, simply because i just don't like that kind of scenery, haha...

boy, even one of those home shopping channels on TV are more entertaining to me.

hah, yea, i might be unnormal xD

what i DO like is this "This is Sparta" stuff, for example also on neowin floating around... ever so funny :p

Glassed Silver:mac

Obviously the writer of the review isn't up on the history behind the story.

Lol. "Like 300 dudes kill like a million other dudes" or something like that. The Battle of Thermopylae really happened.

I still haven't seen it but I've seen some choice shots and the 300 rap.

My brother's room has also been nicknamed Sparta.

It was a funny enough read.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
