It's been getting yanked all over the place, so see it while it's up.

If I had a big pit, I'd be kicking people into it all the time.

Maybe it was just the format conversion but enough of that film looked CGI enough to the point where I was wondering if it was a film preview or a game preview.

It's missing a pasty-white guy with blades on chains.

Damnit, my fianceé likes playing God of War... and insists on having me get her through the traps with narrow time windows to complete.

Agree with Joph there... A lot of CGI action, made it look like a game. Although, even if it is a game, it looks cool.

If this is about the battle of Thermopylae (and I assume the lead up to it and perhaps even about the life of King Leonidas) it better be fuukin right! There better be no Troyesque or Alexanderesque made up or conviently forgotten ********** I hope for once they can take an ancient historical figure and treat the subject matter right. For fuck sake the western world would not exist if it wasn't for them.

I liked the way that (apart from the CGI parts) it looked like it was mostly filmed in a low budget 45x45 studio with sodium top-lighting. Nice Messican Soap Opera cinematography going on Smiley: oyvey

Just me that thought it looked shockingly bad then?

Wooden acting too.

Of course it looks cheesy, but what more can you expect coming from something based on a comic book graphic novel?

Batman Begins?

X-Men?

This just looks like another low-budget teen-fest. Fine if you like that sort of thing and don't mind amateur production quality.

I don't think anyone actually said what the movie is. Anyone mind telling me what it is?

It looks more mythical than historical. There was a short sequence of some Frankensteinish guy in there. See below link for screenshot.

Clicky.

They kept saying "Spartans" a lot, so maybe that's it.

or else it's a Guess jeans commercial.

Is it 300? If it is I can't wait to get home, that's like the greatest Story/Comic EVER. I'm a HUGE history buff and the comic really does bring the story alive, I can't WAIT to see the movie.

300 seems like an inappropriate name for such a movie.

But that is nonetheless its title.

Another movie I want to see.

For those of you who have played the game.

Why would 300 be "inappropriate"?

Perhaps I should have used the word "bad" instead.

There's nothing in the title that implies what kind of movie it is. 300? Three hundred what? Sounds like a sci-fi movie like 2001: A Space Odyssey or some odd thriller a la Murd3r 8y Num8ers or 187.

That's kinda like if they had called the movie with Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt Big Horsie! instead of Troy. Yes, there's a big horse in the movie, but still...

Depends. How do you define 'stupid'? My IQ is higher than the average, but I suck at math. If that makes me stupid, perhaps I am. Perhaps I'm just not fluent in English. Who knows.

Who are you?

The Spartans were outnumbered one hundred thousand to one, but sometimes choosing where to fight makes ALL the difference in the world! Enough of a difference to unite a nation just in time.


For the guy writing the plot summary for IMDB that Hellboy used, can we arrange a stabbing to the face? I seriously doubt the Persian army was 30,000,000 strong (yes, a hundred thousand times 300 is 30 million). The Spartans may have been outnumbered 100:1 or 1000:1, but not 100,000:1. And people are just dumb if they think otherwise. :-)

While the recent school of thought generally accepts a number between 60,000 and 120,000 fighting men and an equal number of support and non-combatants (due primarily to the lack of water) ancient scholars say anywhere from 800,000 to 2.5 million with support and non combatants pushing it up to as much as 5.25 million.
