Another Frank Miller 300 Movie Review!

"Snyder perfectly captures the look and feel of Miller's original work with a movie that is fun, exciting and sick without ever losing sight of the story or characters. If you're into movies like "Braveheart" and "Gladiator," this one stands amongst them in a way that belies its "comic book" roots."

Don't miss this 300 movie review...

"Make sure to stick around once it's over for some of the coolest blood-splattering end credits you've ever seen."

Gallery: Frank Miller's 300

"Graphic novelist Frank Miller (Sin City, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) and director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) team up for a new-form war movie. 300 uses fresh digital technologies to retell the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a small band of Spartans held off an enormous Persian Army."

Blah blah blah... SHOW ME THE 300 GALLERY!!

300 Movie Brings History to Bloody Life (Wired.com)

All right! We're getting some exposure on Wired.com. This article includes an interview with Zack Snyder, the awesome Director behind 300. Let's take a look...

"No one should ever take drugs, ever. I want to go on the record on that. But if someone was to slip you a mickey, I would immediately get into a taxi and go to an Imax screening of 300."

"If you ask a digital artist to do a (computer-generated) shot, maybe a glass dropping on the ground, you can show it to anyone and ask, "Does that look real?" They'll say "yes" or "no." With 300, I was asking my artists to create something that looks surreal or fantastic, to create environments that were impossible. I was asking them to be artists again, to be expressive, to express their own emotions through the skies and landscapes."

"This is a historical film, and technology gave us the tools to render history in ways we haven't seen before. And it wasn't cost-prohibitive. The idea of making ancient Rome or the pyramids -- those could only have been done in very big-budget films. Now, rendering these kinds of images has become less expensive and more accessible. I think you'll be seeing more fantastic images and journeys back in time."

Frank Miller's 300 Movie: Rodrigo Santoro Interview

"Santoro was previously honored in his native Brazil for his work in "Bicho de Sete Cabecas (aka "Brainstorm"). Santoro's portrayal of a young man forced into a mental institution by his parents brought him a number of Best Actor Awards, including the first-ever Best Actor Award from the Brazilian Academy of Arts and Film, and the Cinema Brazil Grand Prize, also for Best Actor. He later earned another Cinema Brazil Grand Prize nomination for his work in 2003's "Carandiru," which broke all Brazilian box office records at the time of its release and was Brazil's entry for the Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards."

Here is what he had to say about his role in 300.

Note: Rodrigo Santoro plays the Persian ruler Xerxes in Frank Miller's 300.

The First Bad Review of Frank Miller's 300?

"There's no doubt Frank Miller's graphic novel is a fun read, but Zack Snyder's interpretation was a boring, fast-food version of better films, with better scripts, better acting and better battles. 300 men fought to defend their freedom but, in the end, 300 people (including me) wanted their two hours back."

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but we all know this guy is full of crap! 300 is going to be the biggest movie of 2007. It is THE movie to see this year.

Advance Review of Frank Miller 300 the Movie

"Ultimately, this film combines an archetypal conflict, an ancient storytelling tradition reaching back as far as the Greeks themselves, and technique that makes it relevant to modern audiences. In other words, it's not clear whether great movie myths are born or bred, but 300 is unequivocally one of them."

5/5 Stars!

No surprise there...300 is THE movie of 2007. It cannot be too hyped!

Exclusive! 300 Movie Sequel?

"It would seem that the studio has put quite a bit of faith in Snyder's work on "300", because not only has he been entrusted with making "Watchmen", but producer Mark Canton expressed an interest in a sequel to "300", according to MoviesOnline."

So, will there be a 300 Movie sequel?

Given that 300 will be the top movie of 2007, you can bet that there is a chance of this. Remember that Frank Miller is a wizard. He has plenty of stories ready to go, I'm sure!

300 Movie Director Zack Snyder gets awesome deal...

Why good? Watchmen!

300 Trailer and the Super Bowl

"The movie, a kickass sandal-and-swords epic, won't be in one of those highly touted commercial slots because I've heard that Warner Bros. has a new policy against Super Bowl ads. At least, this is what the movie's director, Zack Snyder, told me."
