Movie reiview..300
« on: March 10, 2007, 06:13:41 AM »
Went to see 300.  I thought it was pretty good, but a bit strange.  Graphics were excellent, story was good, lots of gratuitous violence and some gratuitous sex.  I'd say if you like violent war movies, you will like this.  Not for the kids though.  Lots of heads getting hacked off.

I have always liked the story.  I admire both of the combatants in that conflict.  the persians were a fearsome force during that time.  the wiley greeks were clever first at marathon and later at thermopylae.  king lionaedes has always been an inspiration to me.  I'll go see this film as well.

I think it's horrible that Hollywood can't leave the classics alone. This film in my opinion is horrendous compared to the original. The original was a better story-line, and although this has everyone's favorite 3D graphics (And all of it is), the original just seemed a lot more fun than this one.

Okay guys, you can jump on me now.

You share a perchant for homosexuality and believe wisdom can be gleaned from soppy tarts pretending to have a direct link to the gods?

Interesting role model, but I guess it takes all sorts...

It's not a remake of the original movie.  It's an adaptation from a graphic novel which happens to be the same story line.  Have you read/seen Frank Miller's graphic novel of it?

You cannot justly compare the two this way.  Though they may share the same premise of the origin of the story, it's apples to oranges.

Yea, i ddint see the original, but I think this is loosely based on anything that really happened.  Its really tends to the fantastic with a flavor of reality.

I'll see it.   I read the paperback book "300 Spartans" when I was a kid.  It was about Thermoplae

actually, the original was historically inaccurate, had retarded cold war overtones, and was full of 1960's views on virginity rubbish :lol

it was a fun film, but it was hardly a classic, more propaganda...


this one is adapted from frank miller's graphic novel 300 (creator of sin city) and is very similar in terms of style and brutality :)

unfortunately, it only comes out here on the 23rd, grrrr (been waiting a year for this movie) :furious
