300, a Frank Miller story, directed with the same flare as Sin City by Dawn Of The Dead re-makist Zach Snyder.



It's gorier than Gladiator but it's a stylized and artistic violence. No A-list stars but it was still compelling. No real plot or character development, but then this isn't that kind of movie. All in all I was entertained as were the others in the theatre...

You seen it yet??

I liked it, it was just kind of wierd how they put mutated people in there...The guy with cleaver hands..

It gets really slow about 45 min into it...

I've heard so many people talk alot about this movie.. but I don't know, I still havnt gotten off my lazy butt and actually watched it yet.

i know the film is basically a testosterone flick with men beating their chests and screaming every line of dialogue...but it grew tiresome and i thought it was just an overblown and overhyped film from beginning to end.

i FINALLY saw this last week...i found it to be really amusing, but i wasn't blown away by it as i thought i'd be from what everyone's told me about it.

For someone like me, who is both a history buff, and a lover of high-body-count action movies, the movie was wonderful. Strong warriors fighting for FREEDOM!
Outstanding special effects, great bad guys (the "Uber Immortal dude, holy shit). The omission of the fact that the whole Spartan world existed through the benefit of slave holding, which allowed the Spartans to train, and train, and train, didn't bother me at all. The battle details fairly true to the actual event, in particular the bottleneck at the pass.....and that's the kind of history that has kept me from reading fiction for years.
For a comic version see "Meet the Spartans"..hilarious.

I liked the part with the dancing oracle.

I like the part where he just starts eating that random apple.

Post by Esoterik I liked the part with the dancing oracle.

Nice scene, the actress was photographed underwater, which accounts for the ethereal feeling of the scene.

I also enjoyed the active role played by the Spartan women. When Xerxes tells Leonidas what will happen to the Spartan women after he's defeated the Spartans, Leonidas replies:

"Clearly, you don't know our women".

I don't think anyone needs to worry about Xerxes raping a woman

uh, yea, there is that. But after seeing the party in his tent I wouldn't rule anything out.

they are probably there to help him accessorize..."does this ugly chain thingy go with this ugly nose ring?"
