Let's FUCKING Rage

SHITS WEAK

sit on my FACE

we don't have ddr so you're...dumb

What?

Haha, instead of an 18+ year old rating it has a "Are you man enough?"-rating.
...Naw that's just silly.

Gah, come to our cinema already!

don't do it , i just went to see it tonight, and got abut half way through the film before leaving and trying to argue back my six dollars, or at the very least, half since i did watch half of it, but it was to no avail

You lack all that is manly.

THIS IS SPARTA!

If your just in for a few good cheap thrills and visual splendor, it hits the spot. Great special effects, great battle scenes with lots of slow motion. But as far as dialouge and story goes...it's something like this:

1.Leonidous: blah blah blah FUCKIN SPARTA!!!!! ::MEN BEAT THEIR CHEST AND SCREAM::

2.Spartan: blah blah blah, I love fighting for FUCKING SPARTA!!! ::MEN BEAT THEIR CHEST AND SCREAM:: and my king.

Repeat.

Oh yeah, looks like 300 is also hiding a message of ANTI-IRANIAN PROPOGANDA

yeah, the all the dialogues in the trailer were very manly men screaming to eachother and their enemies.

the movie still looks great though.

Sounds good to me
I mean, what can you expect from soldiers during that time.
"Oh bugger, my sandals don't match this costume at all. I'll be sure to pick up another pair next time we hit the gucci store."

Jackass 2. I think I broke a rib from laughing.

I just saw it too. 100 times better than the first one.

Yeah but the dialogue was just retarded most the time

persia : "lay down your weapos"
spartan" come and get it " *make uber manly face*

and i don't understand the whole seawall thing in the movie, it was like ten feet tall and they could have walked around it in the surf, the only thing powerful about it is that it has dead persians in it.

Ha, sorry to burst your buble, but thats actually what they're reported as saying in Plutarch (it'd be "come and get them", by the way). The "then we will fight in the shade line" is from Herodotus. The 300 (and the 700 the movie ignores) were the original Clint Eastwoods.

yeah, but you don't read greek or latin mythes for their realism, do you?

The point is that they were following the myths, not just making up cheesy lines...

Anyways, I thought the story was pretty good for what was basically an all-action movie. Spartan pride!!!!!!!!

Saw Saw 3 yesterday. What an incredible metal and entertaining movie!
Wonderful.

Heeeeey.. don't insult my Plutarch that way. He may have made some stuff up to fit moral points/parralel his lives, but he's still a lovely, sexy historian.

I'll grant you Herodotus.

hehe, i didn't say i didn't enjoy both Plutarch or Herodotus. But meh, i'm more into Vergilius' Aeneïs. Yes yes, most roman writers copied greek ones, but honestly, i don't give a fuck.btw Greek empire vs Troy(although the movie kinda sucked donkey balls)>silly little encounter between Persia and 300 spartans

I wish I had left halfway through it. Unpopular opinion or not, this movie was terrible. 2 minutes worth of good battle scenes just doesn't justify it.

From the ridiculous Persian monsters to the Spartan hunchback "gollum" character to every woman looking like an emicated crackwhore to the final scenes basically ripping off Gladiator to the stupid Matrix style fighting to the absolutely repulsive "gollum" betrayal scene with Xerxes in the orgy...I guess I can die a happy man now that I saw some softcore hunchback action!! Who knew the Persian's immortals were the Orcs from LOTR!

It was also dreadfully boring for much of the film, particularly the council subplot...at least Sin City had a few good moments, this had one or two.

I won't argue with that. I admit that I always tear up in the Iliad when Hector dies, and in the Aeneid when Priam dies. Nothing brings out Greek tradedy like the Trojan war; all my favourite Greek plays too (The Trojan Women, the Oresteia) are all related to it in some way. And the Aeneid beats the Odyssey, even if it is half propoganda and half a ripoff of Greek myths. Nothing beats the Iliad, though.

And the period from the Gracchi to Actium>Trojan War>300.



Did you see a fucking preview, man? It was pretty clear from the trailers (and the comic it was based on,) that these elements were going to be included. I do agree with you that the entire council thing was boring; but seriously, this is the equivalent of seeing Superman returns and complaining that a movie set in the modern day world included an alien who can fly.

Yeah I saw the fucking preview, man. Ok, I'll buy the Persian monsters stuff but this still ripped off a bunch of movies and that hunchback betrayal scene was one of the most repulsive things ever captured on film. It's just a damn movie anyway, we'd all be better off reading your man, Plutarch. (Reading Fall of the Roman Republic now)
