Nevertheless, 300 is entirely overrated. It's great. But it's not that great. And I doubt any of you read the abridged script of it I posted earlier.
i do think its among the greatest, its like predator or rambo of today. we love that macho action, and i think we all would like to have fought with Lyonidas because he is just the biggest baddass lately. he has all the greatest aspects of a man, and thats what communicates most.
That's weird you said Predator. I was watching it today on Spike TV. I love that movie. But I don't think they make action movies like that anymore. But then again, there will never be another Arnold.

'nuff said right there. Once again Carlos takes the words out of my mouth.
There's so much passion in that movie its crazy. I finally saw it about 2 weeks ago, and then I had to watch it again.:D
i'd give it a 9. Some parts seemed too slow and long for my taste and also there were some parts that seemed unrealistically fake. Like that one giant dude that Leonydas beheads. I was like "The hell?". I'm gonna go buy it sometime soon. And memorize all those dramatic quotes ( which I'm sure Carlos already has done;) )

ive seen it more times than i can count. such is my fate, since i love it, and i constantly analyze movies for future video ideas. ive made too many FF7 AC movies, i want to move on from that.
300 out of 10. that movie kicked ass and stayed true to the book.
Probably because Frank Miller was directly involved with it. Just like the Sin City books. The movie is more a translation than an adaptation of those books.
yeah. 300 rocked and sin city rocked and sin city 2 will rock just as hard. frank miller is a beast. now if only they would make a movie based on dark knight returns...

hm, idk. i guess to... not be confused? i mean i understand yours.sort of lol.is that person in the gif a woman or man? (sorry to ask... the lips nose and eyes make it look like a woman)
i dont get your sig... all i get from that is ur location is n'orleans.
It's from a lil wayne song. in 1960 something some furniture store opened on tulane avenue in new orleans. it was called rosenbergs, and the jingle went "rosebergs, rosenbergs, 1825 tulane" everyone from the city could sing the jingle for you on command. it's weird. anyways lil wayne used that line in a song, and then afterwards went on to say if you're not from new orleans you won't know what he's talking about. i guess that was a very true statement on his part.

Yeah, so this is my first post. I have been cruisin this site for a long while now, studying up on the DIII news. And since I loved 300, and noticed a few incorrect comments on the film, I needed to set some things straight about it. I gave it a 10/10.
Quote from "Thasador" »
The Battle of Thermopolis is a battle that I hold dear to me in my studies of war. I believe that i am a very knowledgeable person when it comes to present and past warfare. The movie 300 is a very awesome and impactful movie...though some of the facts and storyline did not meet up with most scholars. The Spartan warriors did not hold up the Persian Army at the North Gates as 300 depicted. The Battle of Thermopolis believed to be that the Spartans held up the Persian army outside their city gates. They held up the Persian force so well that after days of battles grew the Persians weak and disgusted of war. After the 6th day of the battle...the Persians withdrew their force and set sail back to their empire. There was no battle after the 300 Spartans engaged the Persian army. 300 showed that their was a secondary battle towards the end of the film with 23,000 Spartans/Greeks.
Though i guess no one will excatly know what happened. Since this happened a few 1000 generations ago...no one will excatly know. Just some food for thought though. Great movie and it remains as one of my top 3 along with the other great movies.
For one, it was called the Battle of Thermopylae, and I think you must have missed that day in school, because the movie portrays it very accurately.
First point. The battle took place in a narrow mountain pass, that was the pass of Thermopylae, at the East Gate. It was nowhere near Sparta. The battle was over 100 miles north of Sparta. It was about 20 miles north of Delphi!! If you look at any map, you can tell that Sparta is nowhere near Delphi.
Next, the battle was only 3 days. Not 6.
Finally, there was another battle after Thermopylae. There were actually two, one a naval battle, and another massive ground battle. It was called the Battle of Plataea. They even say that in the movie. "Here on this rugged patch called Plataea..." Which was a little less than a year after Thermopylae, and they say that in the film too. That battle had about 40,000 Greeks. 10,000 of which were Spartan soldiers. Also figures stated in the film.
And this information was passed down by ancient scholars until it reached Herodotus, who wrote the full story about the Persian war.
Overall, the spartans, along with about 6,000 other Greeks, defeated over 150,000 Persians. This movie was so accurate, that they used lines in the film that were actually spoken by the Spartans. "Come and get them!"(Leonidas) and "So much the better, we shall fight in the shade" (Dienekes)and "Spartan, come back with your shield or on it." (Spartan women say this to their husbands leaving for war)
The only inaccuracy was that Spartans actually had slaves, but that was the only way for the Spartans to maintain a military society the way it was.
An inaccurate film HA!! This was probably the most accurate historical film ever made!
