In Response To: Re: Woah, just saw 300 at Cinerama! (Lord Crosis)

Just saw it today as well. Liked it a lot.

: I just saw 300. I thought it was pretty good, though I had trouble suspending
: my disbelief when the wolf or any of the persian's animals, or any of the
: "freak" persians came on. The movie should have gone for more
: realism there.

That's what I thought when I first saw the previews. However, before seeing the movie, I saw an interview with Frank Miller about that and he said that the Persians, the wolves, elephants, etc are monsters to the Spartans and so they are portrayed as monsters in the movie. Could have been some Hollywood BS to cover up that they just wanted to add some Lord of the Rings sci-fi/fantasy element to the story, but I thought it was a reasonable enough explanation so that I could suspend disbelief and not be too distracted by it.

: We the viewers are trying to believe that this is (at least
: loosely) based on real events, (which it is) and bringing somewhat
: supernatural forces into the battle detracted from that belief. The
: cinematography, and all of the effects (apart from the afore-mentioned)
: were fantastic. The music was adequate, though I think it could have been
: better. The acting was quite good, and somewhat redeems Gerard Butler in
: my eyes after his horrendous performance as The Phantom.
