A film adaptation of 300! I'd never heard of it before, but it piqued my interest because it touched on something i'm reading on, the Battle of Thermopylae. It's about the King Leonidas, and how him and his men repelled the Persian forces of Xerxes on the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Trailers shamelessly jacked from megatokyo forums. :lol:

Holy crap.  Just saw the trailer, and... holy crap.
I LOVED the original graphic novel, which was known for having only two-page spreads.  The trailer seems to be extra-widescreen, and the visual style is spot-on with the book.
 
SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!

IGN Advance Review - Zack Snyder creates a masterpiece with this fantastic adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel - 5/5 (http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/763/763580p1.html)

Hell yes. I've been waiting for this movie for some time now, it looks freaking sweet. I wasn't really going to mind what critics say anyway, but it's always nice to hear good reviews.

new movie by warner bros

Trailer --->>> http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/300/

Official Web --->>> http://300themovie.warnerbros.com/

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b146/cajun2de/wbcomiccon2.jpg)

300 is a historical epic film directed by Zack Snyder, scheduled to be released in 2007. Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

Post by: Mugen on March 09, 2007, 11:35:01 PM
saw it at midnight for free.  Very good effects and the fights are damn realistic. its not like one person just standing there getting stabbed like 300000000 movies we've seen. its just realistic and what u expected from a sword fighting medieval battles. King Leonidas or what his face looks like he has his panties tight up in a knot shoved into his rectum most of the time after he leaves Sparta aka mediocre acting all round. the violence deserves it's R rating. SLOW MOTION GORE FOR THE WIN!!

going to watch it again on the bigger screen, IMAX!!!!

i got flack on a different forum for that. i joked about how they all die at the end... and that theres no part 2 coming out :P  i guess some people jus don't know history. afterall its a movie adaptation of a comic book (sorry, graphic novel) thats based on history... the battle of Thermolylae during 480 BC.

awesome movie, saw the midnight showing last night! frikken mean goryness! and got some nice sexual content going on as well (not to mention some weird freakiness as well)

as for the acting, well theres not awhole lot of lines in the movie. when they do speak its kool and moving they way its edited. but def a very awesome use of slow motion... yes, maybe a lil matrixque looking.

one thing is for sure, after you're done watching the movie your adrenaline is pumping! brings out the testosterone.

SPOILERS (sort of) WARNING - REVIEW!

Quote
Ok, so I watched it the second time in two days but only this time at a huge imax screen. I noticed so many flaws second time around. Nonetheless, it's still a pretty decent movie but the movie sucked because it was so overhyped. The battles were awesome. But some editing in the movie sucked. and the pace is all over the place. Slow at most cases. the homefront queen thing was unnecesary and it slows down the movie very much. The golemn look alike is also stupid. Xerses looks like a queer.

Best part of the movie? - THE QUEEN'S BOOB JIGGLING IN SLOW MO! AND THE ORACLE'S HARD NIPPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Post by: Slack on March 11, 2007, 02:57:10 AM
Just saw it at IMAX, and as a fan of Frank Miller's original work, I must say that I wasn't disappointed. The movie's faithfulness to the original is commendable. Even if you didn't like it, you have to admit there could have been LOTS of things, if done differently, that would've made it horribly bad.  I shudder to imagine what a director like Uwe Boll would have done with this movie.  As it is, the tone of the entire movie is spot-on with Miller's original.
 
One of my friends, also a big fan of Frank Miller, told me that he was smiling to himself so hard throughout the movie that his face hurt. While mine doesn't, I did find myself grinning for most of the movie.

I saw it last night, and I absolutely ADORED every minute of it. It was thin on plot, but plot twists aren't the reason to see this movie; it's the look and the amazing fight scenes that are amazing. And how AWESOME was Gerard Butler's (Leonidas) beard? I WANT IT! Anyway, I'm probably going to see it again at some point in the near future.

Post by: Slack on March 12, 2007, 01:05:03 AM
I'll be the first to admit that realism is NOT the point of this movie.  But that doesn't negate the fact that the general idea of Spartans going to Thermopylae to fight the Persians is what happened in history.  I wasn't talking about anything except the "story line", as Reinafan put it.
Title: Frank Miller's "300"
Post by: Mugen on March 12, 2007, 01:28:26 AM
eve so, the "storyline" in the movie is thing and very slow paced. But then again, I guess this movie is only intended to wow ppl with their special effects and the battle scenes and not with a good plot. the battle of thermopylae is only part of the story in the movie as we saw it. if it isnt, we wont be seeing the stupid homefront crap with queen gorgo and the traitor.

Delicacies of dismemberment aside, 300 is notable for its outrageous sexual confusion. Here stands the Spartan king Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and his 299 buddies in nothing but leather man-panties and oiled torsos, clutching a variety of phalluses they seek to thrust in the bodies of their foes by trapping them in a small, rectum-like mountain passage called the "gates of hell(o!)" Yonder rises the Persian menace, led by the slinky, mascara'd Xerxes. When he's not flaring his nostrils at Leonidas and demanding he kneel down before his, uh, majesty, this flamboyantly pierced crypto-transsexual lounges on chinchilla throw pillows amidst a rump-shaking orgy of disfigured lesbians."

Gorgo was in about two panels in the novel.

Also, hated the superhueg rhino deal. And the dude with knives for hands. Wtf is this, Lord of the Rings? And the slow motion was cool in some parts, but really exhausted its appeal in the middle of the film.

^yea, thats why I stated that the whole story about the homefront crap is really out of the whole point and boring. And getting ass raped.

The dude with knives really reminded me of Doom 3 for some reason.

- if you're a traitor, don't carry around persian gold coins in your purse. just in case you get stabbed and "spill the beans"
- when someone gives good advice, listen to what he/she says instead of who's saying it. even if he/she looks like gollum. at least investigate it. and there's nothing wrong with using the gollum if he offers his services. spartans are so superficial..

spoilers

- if you're a traitor, don't carry around persian gold coins in your purse. just in case you get stabbed and "spill the beans"
- when someone gives good advice, listen to what he/she says instead of who's saying it. even if he/she looks like gollum. at least investigate it. and there's nothing wrong with using the gollum if he offers his services. spartans are so superficial..


Why? The reasoning was clear and concise, albeit like what Foxy said earlier, didn't really hold true in the movie itself. Also, he did take Ephialtes' advice.

I just recently read through the comic book, and that armored war rhino, big fat blades-for-arms executioner, and the whole subplot with the queen weren't in it. This suggests to me that someone read a Frank Miller comic book and said to himself "You know, this would make a pretty good movie if it were just a little more retarded and over the top."

And that thought makes me smile.

Saw it tonight. Was as badass as I expected it to be. Although the guy with knifes for hands did get a 'WTF' moment from everyone watching. And the subplot with the Queen was pointless.

Loved it. And this will look fucking amazing once it's out on HD on my 110" projector screen. I can't wait.

This movie was good fun but highly overrated.  Definitely didn't deserve all the success it got and sometimes all that hard rock music just made it look really stupid.

Maybe she was just a filler to arouse the audience in the beginning, if it was then I'm happy ;D

i just watched it... wow... storyline aside... the colours used and the battle scenes sure was good... a change from the un-manly men that are walking around these days..  :P

well, i'd just say that the society today does have a fairly strong dose of estrogen and thus effect everybody, guys included =p ; i don't think it's entirely the men's choice/fault to be 'un-manly' (if manly means the traditional beast-like 'macho-isms')

That said, i still think that hero movies like this one kick all of our balls everyone once in awhile; which could be healthy too  ;D, since as human beings, we have and need both of those sides  (And for getting/impressing/pleasing the ladies:  we guys got to have them both too; the primal macho-gorilla & the perfect gent...wouldn't you ladies all say so  ;)

I thought the movie was okay... I liked the battle scenes, but the sex and the rock music wasn't that necessary for the movie.

Story? Nearly none. But thats with these battlescenes no matter!

Great film. Bit too much talking about honor and strength.

Funny, the king of sparta was such a strong and tall guy, but when Xerxes stood behind him :dizzy:

Who the hell is the actor? Must be a basketballer or something.

I ended up seeing this a few weeks ago but never got around to posting about it XD

Honestly, I thought it was way overrated. I kept hearing all these great things about it, but I just didn't like it as much as everybody else. But oh, it was completely worth seeing anyway.

GERARD BUTLER :luvluv1: He was hot in Dracula 2000 and Phantom of the Opera, but he was...I don't think I even have a word to describe how fantastic he looked.

I was hoping he would break into song at some point in the movie  :p

personally i couldn't stand the visual effect or whatever it had (seemed like the brightness was too high or the contrast or something) and i wasn't aware that the spartan army wore speedo's...which wouldn't have been so bad except they always had to focus on their abs - me and my friend (we actually walked out of the movie) were joking afterwards that the only reason they showed breasts was to make up for an entire movie of half-naked men  :wahaha:

Rodrigo Santoro...He's not really that tall, it's just movie magic (they modulated his voice to make it deeper, too)  ;)

Hmmm... I think the allegations of this being "gay porn" is a bit overstated. Wasn't the film direction mirroring the graphic novel frame by frame just like in Sin City? If anything, any sexual message contained in this movie constantly revolved around the beautiful being ravished by the beasts i.e. the oracle by the temple dudes, Leonida's wife by Theron, and of course the little hunchback having a great time in Xerxes' tent! >:D

MANY OF YOU ARE IGNORING HISTORICAL FACTS!!!!!!

1) GLADIATORS WERE NOT WHITE SKINNED, BLOND HAIR, BLUE EYES
2)  THEY HAD TAN TO DARK SKIN, WOOLEY HAIR, 
3)  WHY DO YOU PEOPLE BELIEVE EVERY DAMN MOVE YOU SEE?


BECAUSE OF THIS, I HATED 300
