300

[Lfntn10 0]

Anyone see this movie yet? Saw it tonight, thought it was visually spectacular and fun to watch. Story was pretty good but I already knew the history of the battle so I just wanted to see the eye-candy violence.

The only complaint I have about this movie is the fact that it totally took my masculinity away. The fact that I just saw jacked up men with 8 pack abs going apeshit and monster killing a shit load of people totally puts me playing hockey to shame.

All jokes aside, it was a good movie.

It took away your masculinity? If anything, it boosted mine. As the movie ended, I simply turned to my friend, and the only words that came out of my mouth were, "For some reason, I have the strangest urge to do a shitload of push-ups right now." But seeing it in IMAX was quite the experience.

I heard it was rated really low because of the low, LOW storyline and it was mostly action. But that's why we WANT to go see it ... <_<

It's thin, there's no way around it, but it's visually awesome and the action doesn't leave anyone bored. Plus the queen is stone cold deadly.

It got 62% on Rotten tomatoes, which is a solid score.

I thought it was pretty good.

Visuals are amazing and it made me really want to work out..

yeah, fun to watch. but the nudity wasn't really necessary. since everyone has the same opinions more or less on this movie, did anyone see zodiac. i felt it was slow and lacked suspense.

I really want to see 300. I keep hearing around school "This is SPARTA". or something.

As for Zodiac, we left midway through it. after about an hour and a half of nothing we left.

[mack 44]

Your school sounds pretty unreal.

I haven't seen the movie, but the Battle of Thermopylae had more than 300 Spartans, with their allies they were close to 4000 soldiers. I am guessing the movie overlooks that...

[mack 44]

The movie also has Spartans knocking Athenians for being "boy lovers" though.

Where would the storyline be in that though???? Way more cinematic to represent 300 vs the whole civilized world. Besides, what would the title have been, "2250 greeks, 200 Phoenecians, 1000 miscellaneous slaves and 300 Spartans"???? :D

The real battle does seem pretty heroic nonetheless from what I have read on it.

They did include some allied troops in the movie.

[mack 44]

Arcadians but I forgot what their general quoted their number as.

Actually it was 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians covering the retreat of the main Greek army after a tratior showed the Persian horde another pass. The 1,000 man rear guard managed to inflict such heavy losses on the Persians by the time they fought Athen's army it was a virtually unwinable battle.

[mack 44]

It was Arcadians.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but by the previews it looks like they should gone with HGH for the title and not 300.

[trevor13478 1]

there were 300 spartans + allies but most of the allies ended up fleeing, leaving the 300 who stood and fought.

I just got back from it. the gorriest movie I have ever seen. It was pure entertainment, so don't expect a plot, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it as well. Graphics were really good. Lots of blood and shock value!
