shaftiel March 8, 2007 Share shaftiel Member March 8, 2007 Not I. I have never understood the need to deal with big crowds, long waits in line, and the rush to get a good seat, just to be one of the first 2 - 5 million people to see a movie. I'll wait until Tuesday to see it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it much more without the rat race and stress. Shaftiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfly March 8, 2007 Share dragonfly Member March 8, 2007 It's for the thrill of picking up watching the movie satisfying the desire to watch it. Tuesdays are cheap nights here, and it's packed then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfly March 10, 2007 Share dragonfly Member March 10, 2007 It was pretty good. Predictable, and too many sex scenes, but I thought it was a good'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracid March 12, 2007 Share Tracid Member March 12, 2007 Yay for sex scene, I was afraid it would only be men clashing swords, and thrusting spears at each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly March 12, 2007 Share dragonfly Member March 12, 2007 I dont mind love scenes, or romance, but I'm not a fan of hollywood movie porn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller March 12, 2007 Share Leveller Member March 12, 2007 I agree with Hollywood porn statement Dark, but..... was it an accurate retelling of the graphic novel and is that why they were in there or were they just added as you describe "hollywood porn" sytle? I've not seen the film yet, but I intend to soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly March 12, 2007 Share dragonfly Member March 12, 2007 I really dont know. Either way I'd still enjoy them not being in there. Meh, I still recommend it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMamma March 19, 2007 Share YoMamma Member March 19, 2007 3/4 stars This movie was everything I expected. It was just a good action movie about an amazing historical event with great special effects. The film focused more on Frank Miller's comic then history, which was fine. Too much sex? Uh no. There were 2 important sex scenes. 1.) the night before the big battle. This was the last night the King and Queen will spend together. 2.) Was to show how evil a particular man was, while showing what kind of sacrifice a woman would go through for her love. 3.) Im not going to count the naked prophet as a sex scene.

Xterminator March 21, 2007 Share Xterminator Member March 21, 2007 It was a great movie. Historically it's very accurate. But of course hollywood has to throw in some extra spice. Many of the phrases Leonidus used were actually recorded in history like when Xerxes asks for the spartan's weapons he says "Come and take them". That actually happened. I dont know if they showed the Persians "whiping" the sea. Supposedly after the big storm when Xerxes landed on spartan land, he ordered the Sea to be whiped for disobeying him. The imortals were cool but their uniforms are historically inaccurate. That was another hollywood add on. Plus they were nothing special, just a force of 10000 men (always 10,000 no more no less) that were well known. Either way it was a great movie and i'm so gonna watch it again.

TheGeek March 26, 2007 Author Share TheGeek Member March 26, 2007 I saw it opening night. I agree, too much sex. I mean, you don't have to expose the queen's breasts when she is having a normal conversation with the king. Thats why I'm happy for adobe premiere and a dvd ripper when I buy it. A pg-13 rating for me plz Me and my friends were so pumped that we decided (but chickened out) to go do a skit in walmart. It goes like this. When we are at the checkout lanes, I scream out, "This is blasphemy! this is madness!" then one of my friends would kick me square in the chest and yell, "THIS IS WALMART!!!" That and barricade the front of the doors with shovels and garbage cans poking anybody trying to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X, you do realize that while this historical event DID happen, this film was in no way intended to be a historical film right? It is an adaptation of a graphic novel (read: comic book) that was LOOSELY based on the historical events at Thermopolae. just saying...I heard some people arguing the other day about 300 and one of them said it was the "worst historical war film" he'd ever seen...

Xterminator April 9, 2007 Share Xterminator Member April 9, 2007 yes i know it was based on a graphic novel. But that graphic novel was based on historical events . I'm just gettin rid of the middleman lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon April 9, 2007 Share Allanon Member April 9, 2007 Ty was telling me in game that the novel 300 was about a child's view of the events of Thermopalaye, which is why the Persians looked so monstrous and foreign. For anyone that is interested, there is a novel called Gates of Fire and that is much more historically accurate and enjoyable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimmpp April 10, 2007 Share Chimmpp Member April 10, 2007 I recorded the history channel special about the "Last Stand of the 300." It showed all the other stuff along with the part the film was "based" on. Isn't it spelled Thermopylae? Or are there thousands of spellings like every old word in the world?

Tracid April 10, 2007 Share Tracid Member April 10, 2007 Saw the movie, very awesome. I hope they make a sequel call 10,000 since at the end its 10k vs how many persians? lol. [sarcasm] Also the reason why they say this movie has a lot of sex scene is because of the underlining homosexual sword/spear fighting each other probably.[/sarcasm] Zinnnnnnnnnnnng! Well...its kinda obvious since they joked about it a lot at the well scene and at the wall building of corpses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage May 7, 2007 Share ZeroDamage Member May 7, 2007 I just saw the movie tonight. They finally opened the new theater here and I went with a friend from work to the 7:15PM showing. Great movie. One of my all time favorites. I would give this a 10/10 and having seen how great this movie is, I may have to mark down the 3rd Spider Man movie because it isn't nearly as good as this movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet; get to it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
