I couldn't even watch 300 after the first 30 minutes or so because somehow they even made the actors look fake. And with appologies to it's many fans, Avatar was really nothing more than an a cartoon. Of course this film was many notches below Avatar, but too much reliance on fx and especially CGI ruins many of todays major Hollywood releases.

CGI can be great when a film doesn't rely on it to keep the viewer interested, but when it's clearly the star of the film it's better to be prepared for the worst. And unfortunately, that's usually what you get.

I thought it was a massive embellishment of the Battle of Thermopylae. Appreciated it for the artistic re-creation of the graphic novel. I was so amazed that I read the history on the battle. To my surprise the movie was much more accurate than not. I ended up studying on the Greeks and warfare in general, the movie stimulated a lot of research and learning on my part. Fun indeed.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

  the video game CGI. The sky, the landscapes and even the actors looked like they were pulled from a video game. I'm very familiar with the story and was very much looking forward to the movie, but it was painful to watch.
  - It was based on a graphic-novel: "300". It was supposed to look that way . . . - mr grits 20:45:10 07/25/10 (0)

  - Yup, it looked like a cartoon and the characters looked like a bunch of aging - tinear 17:09:43 07/25/10 (0)
