Yeah, the wife really wants to see it and I'm pretty down as well. We downloaded all the videos for it on xBox so yeah.

Maybe this weekend or something.

Saw it last night. Highly recommend. Not for the weak of stomach though...

It's a great looking moving with a good story and very little BS in the plot line. I hate it when a good action movie is ruined with political intrigue. Fortunately this didn't do that.

Go see the movie.

Oh yeah, you need to spend the money to see this film. Definitely one of those must sees of the spring season! I really enjoyed all the gore and violence, then the quick cut to a short dialogue, then back to the gore and the violence. Oh, and the gore and the violence.

We saw it in the IMAX theater so the screen is like 40 feet tall or something...Maybe it's 20 or 30..I dunno, it's a big screen.


Anyways, for those who like the epic type films, but want it about an hour less, here's your film. Frank definitely outdid himself with this one!

Snoozer!

Despite some STUNNING visuals, I wouldn't call it a good movie at all. There is absolutely not enough plot to fill the 2 hours, plus I got really tired of looking at half-naked men after the first half hour - my gf didn't have a problem with it though...lol.

I guess it's might be worth watching on the big screen just for the effects. Don't pay full price, catch a matinee or sneak in :P

stanubrick you are right everyone has their opinon about the movie. of course the movies was kinda wierd. and the plot was simple and how the hell can you take on over a million man army for days??? thats what we get for watching a movie made by a comic book author. never the less the gore was great and the battle sequences were awesome. i even went to watch it again. im not trying to insult ya bro.

Actually the author based the story off of an actual historical event (Battle of Thermopylae aka "Hot Gates"). No one knows the true numbers, but it was def the ultimate underdog story.

I didn't hate it altogether...actually my favorite part of the movie was the first battle! It just got boring for me afer that. I enjoyed it for what it's worth: a pure popcorn movie where you don't need to think.

best review ever!!!

Quote:
I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.

It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated shit out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.

The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.

TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN’T LIKE:

COOL THING ONE:
HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES

Who gives a shit if the music isn’t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could’ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel’s Pretzel is telling you that you’ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.

COOL THING TWO:
FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS

Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There’s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he’s got Rosie O’Donnell on his back.

Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.

NOT SO GOOD THING:
DUDE NUDITY (“DUDE-ITY”)

These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they’re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.

Any directors reading this – IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.

Can’t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?

My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I’ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.
