This motion picture was so good that I just had to put in another review on it. Hope that’s ok with everyone. =)
First off, the cinematography of this movie was just immaculate. The use of camera angles throughout the battle scenes and how the director used slow motion to emphasize the intensity of the battles really gave the scenes that extra “umph.” Not only was the use of angles, in the movie, well utilized, but the way in which the director decided to colour the whole movie, as to give it a sort of ‘legendary’ look. Instead of simply using our everyday colours, Snyder made the movie look as if it were a painting. The well-toned bodies’ of the Spartans just glistened in the sun light and just made them look like Gods.
The basic background of the movie is that King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 of his best Spartan warriors leave Sparta to intercept the Persian army, lead by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), who are on their way to conquering Greece and the rest of Europe. (I don’t want to give out too much detail because that would ruin it for the ones that haven’t yet seen it =P)
My opinion of this movie was that it was fantastic!!! I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. Like I said before, the cinematography was just amazing in how it was carried out. The battle scenes definitely showed why the Spartans were fierce warriors and why they were bred to become the best of the best. Overall, I would give this one two thumbs up!

haha i would do another post on it too if i could! It was ridicuosly good eh.
I thought this movie was filmed in Montreal? It doesn't matter though, it is still an American production. I can't wait to go see it!
"300" was shot on a sound stage in Montreal. However, several insert shots were filmed in Los Angeles. The visual effects were formulated from teams around the world.
