Just saw.....
 

300! WOW!
Awesome movie. Great cinematography, amazing action, cool special effects and brutal gore. Yeah, the storyline sucks, but whatever, it's only a movie to show how far the action genre has come. Go watch it now!
SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hopefully I will see it today but I have a feeling my plans will fall through.

my kid saw it today. I'll let you know how many "awesomes" he gives it.

I want to see this as well. I am all geared up for it as the History Channel ran two specials on the 300 Spartans last night.

Μολὼν Λαβέ!

I am really lookin forward to this one!

It's actually pretty historically accurate. Like the phalanx tactic and the expansion and incorporation of the Persian army, like how they used the conquered nations technology and innovation to enhance their culture and military.

But the Spartans were heavily armored, which the movie puts them in only little brown diapers. Only the gods would fight in the buff, ya know.

I figured every red-blooded conservative would have seen that movie 3 times already, given how much it has apparently pissed off the Iranians. ;)

Yeah, Persians actually weren't black mostly. I mean they had black slaves of course, like slaves were of all races but the Persians themselves weren't "black". Weird.

Two thumbs up. Saw it last night.

I saw it and I will have to say that the Spartans are badasses.

I didn't see any propaganda but if you look for it I'm sure you will find it.

The main plots were most likely historically accurate but the events weren't. For example...

Spoilers: Highlight to read
The king of sparta wasn't actually the last person to die. The Immortals didn't look like that. They didn't push the messengers into the well. Others events like that...

Yea 300 was a great movie it is as good as other people say it was, but wasn't as bloody as some people say it was and I thought the Leonidas character showed great intensity during the film.


" This is not madness This is SPARTA!!!":bong:

i thought the Spartans fought in the nude...

:p Naw...that was the Trojans.

Well they were half naked anyways...

No peoples fought in the nude, that is just ridiculous. I mean, c'mon, you would be so freakin' vulnerable, you have no protection to anything! 300 was just to show the off the glorious Spartans but they fought in full bronze and iron for sure.
