300

Who said this was such a great movie? Geez, what a stinker. The special effects looked like a glorified video game. And what's up with the Spartans? Couldn't anybody grow chest hair back then? Every one of those warriors had a shiny, hairless chest and rippling abs. No wonder their women got so lonely, they're all down at the gym pumping iron.

It was exactly what I thought it would be: OTT, violent, lots of fights, historically accurate & half naked men screaming - bloody awesome :-)

300 was indeed a pathetic excuse for a movie. But my favorite part was the drag queen villain coming down his music hall stairs.

Eek - I mean: historically inaccurate

I agree whole-heartedly with Ria. I thought the movie was good fun - it didn't take itself seriously. The half-naked men didn't hurt, either. I got a kick out of the Persian villian with the multiple facial piercings and make-up. I liked the film for probably all of the reasons others hated it.. :)

I was based on a comic; very well done, just what I expected. great visual show, great fight scenes, cool macho dialogues, and such.
Its an entertaining movie.

"Who said this was such a great movie? Geez, what a stinker. The special effects looked like a glorified video game."

They look almost exactly as the comic, not as reall life. So, they did an awesome job. Maybe you guys didnt about reading a bit about the movie before watching it...

Yeah, what gabbs said. And eye candy... lots and lots and lots of eye candy.

I appreciated this movie more when I watched it for a second time and I accepted it had nothing at all to do with the actual histotical battle other then the 300 Spartans part. It had some great fight scenes and plenty of gore.

I blew eight bucks to watch this crap back in March at the theatre and now wish i would have spent said coin on a box of chicken wings at Superstore instead.

I guess in the white trash pennysaver the OP gets his news from they said it was "great".

Chortle, chortle...

Do not be ashamed of being attracted to the warriors, Mr Niner. Repressing your sexuality is harmful to your health. Now spread those gorgeous wings and fly, fly fly.

heavily weighted to the joking side of the joking/insulting scale.

I didn't know the Mach 3 predated gunpowder.

#11 sure you would, mr. white trash threatening people on the net. How was red lobster before you watched the movie?

Try and find a copy of the 1960s movie The 300 Spartans instead.

do you like gladiator movies too ryb?

Now give me a knuckle punch and let me buy you a beer, ya big lug.

Yep, nerb. I like all flicks, but sword and sandals are pretty good!

Funnily enough I was watching some of the original 300 Spartans with Dicky Egan just the other day. Hasn't dated all that well. It's all a bit too sterile, tidy and clean. Clothes, mannerisms and speech somewhat over the top. Interesting that some of lines spoken by Egan's - Leonidus appear to have been resurrected in this latest version.
