Who else has seen it, and agrees that it is one of the best movies that Warner Brothers have come out with in a very long time?

I personally thought the movie was amazing. The Spartans definitally gave me a reason to go to gym haha.

It was okay. I didn't like the horse getting it's leg cut off or that Xerex's looked like a drag queen.

the battle has been referenced in some movies like Last Samurai or other media.
The movie is a adaptaion of a graphic novel that was based on a 60's movie called the 300 spartan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ1j9BYZljk lol a clip)

i could handle the monsters but the goat thing was just too weird

did anyone else here about that girl that got kicked in the theatre?

supposedly she got up in the movie and said "this movie sucks" and some guy got up and said "this movie doesn't suck! this is sparta!" and kicked her down the stairs.

it wasn't based on the 300 spartan, it just served for inspiration. It's hard to do a remake of a movie, which is rooted in history.

and for the rest i iwll quote myself

The movie is historical fiction really based on a graphic novel. Obvious blaring historical inaccuracies: (Sparta had 2 kings, There were around five thousand Greeks at Thermopylae , 700 Thespians aided the 300 Greeks, No mention that at the same time the Greek fleets battled the Persian navy and inflicted heavy casualties). Also I would like to know, did they start with 300 spartan, or did they die as 300? Because all things considered, several Spartans were killed during the battle.

In the end it really doesn't matter. I'm surprised no one really realizes this, but it's when you really look at the movie, the entire thing wreaks of bias. Who narrates the film? Dilios, a Spartan. Think about it he is retelling the story throughout. You aren't witnessing the actual events, you are taking a journey through a story told by a good story teller. Thats why the 150,000 Persians became a million. That is why Persians are "monstrous", and the Spartans are heroes. Of course only the Spartans would appear as courageous and the rest of the Greeks cowardly. The only Spartan depicted as being deformed was a traitor. It's a movie about perspective, with some really cool ****ing battle scenes, and is in no way a "documentary". As the director said, He(Dillios) knows how to tell a story without throwing in facts to make it boring.

I'm like the only person who has not seen it. I might download it on torrent instead of seeing it in theaters, but that would such compared to the big screen. Meh.
