how many MEN want to see this epic of a film?
Film trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDiUG52ZyHQ)
chicks not allowed imo.
*EDIT*
reworded version for homophobes.
300, is about the defense of sparta,
real action movie, with epic fightscenes which would knock troy and gladiator into touch. basically 300 spartans verses 1 million chineese people.

LOL

It looks totally shocking.
-
Cant stand films like that.
-
I cant believe Tom of Finland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_of_finland) finally made a movie!!! :w00t:
-
It looks totally shocking.
Totally unbelievable and overdone TBH
-
Im certainly going to see it, I think itll be aesthetically stunning. Incidentally its not supposed to be historically accurate in the slightest, its based on the Frank Miller comic of the same name which in itself is only very loosely based on real life events. Its a thing of visual beauty, not a war epic.

Looks fantastic doesnt it :D
-
Someone tell me the music in the trailer as its been pissing me off trying to remember it for at least a month now.
300 FTW, looks like it will be an awesome visual feast (as was Sin City)
-
TBH its THE FILM of the year Ive been waiting for and its only march!
Yesterday was the release of the film in the states and at the same time they released the R-Rated trailer and it just makes me want to see it more!!
R-Rated Cliip and small review here (http://www.rlslog.net/300-r-rated-action-movie-trailer/)

Yes but it also appears to have some of the worst dialogue ever and promises to be a film devoid of any plot.
-
How can the Battle of Thermopylae be devoid of any plot? There is ALOT of history to base it on
-
One of my friends has been salivating over this for a number of months, I think If I dont drive him to the earliest local screening he may send 300 spartans after me........ :D
Looks good to me too though :mrgreen:

Sin City 2, 2008 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458481/) 8)

A little tidbit about that trailer is that there is a test screen image of Watchmen at 1m52s

Its "Just Like You Imagined" by NIN.
TBH i think the film looks like it could be very very good. Ill be watching it, I loved the comic, and I know the real history quite well. With Frank Miller being on-set for so much of the filing as well it should follow his story quite well.
-
Get a free screening! (in case you have not noticed!)

I cant wait to go see it, it is apperently getting rave reviews in the us
-
That bloke with the beard needs to chill out a bit, hes got anger issues.
-
That film was better than pulp fiction, which was my number one film ever. I cant wait to watch it again.
-
Going to see it Friday with about 15 of us from college :)
Looking forward to this sooooo much :)
-
looks like a load of crap to me :P

Saturday m8, were going!!!!! :D
-
Im thinking of going to see it this Saturday, Ive not heard a single bad word about it. Other than the instantly dismissive Sam et al :lol:
-
It looks ok but not really my sort of thing. Will probably give it a go once its on DVD
-
Saw it last night, WELL worth a watch.
Best film ive seen in ages! Massivly epic, great story, (mostly) great acting and dialog.
Might have to see it a few times. Makes me want to scream SPARTAAAAAA! at the top of my voice. :D
-

I wouldnt dismiss it as a film, its factually highly inaccurate but that doesnt mean its a bad story - providing you can suspend reality it should be highly enjoyable. Historically its as accurate as LOTR.
I wouldnt critique a film I hadnt actually watched and I just dont fancy it.

Its not supposed to be factual, its based on the Frank Miller graphic novel and as such, much like Sin City, is supposed to be outlandish and highly stylised.

Saw it today and loved it, really want to see it again now and as sexytw says... makes you want to run around in a loin cloth kicking people in the chest and shouting sparta :P

That was great just being to see it :) I agree with what sexytw said totally :)

THIS IS NOT MADNESS... THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!

By "rave" you mean its getting panned? :lol:
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/300?q=300
Still looks to me like a homoerotic abdominal ripple fest for the closeted leather man. :lol:
-
the critics are panning it, but the people are loving it. Figure that one out.
-
Writer: "This will be a deep psychological analysis of the wars between the peoples of the bosphorus and the proto-aryans."
Producer: "Will there be titty?"
-

That usually means its sh*t but people are going to see it because they want to see if it really is sh*t :)
-

Theres a difference between instantly dismissive and having taste. And this is coming from the man who wont see a film unless its free or extremely well rated whereas I see everything - Im going to see 300 even though I have low hopes for it.

You have a cinema card. Its nearing £6 a visit for me plus petrol so Im naturally more frugal about visiting the cinema, therefore Ill only see a film if I know its the kind I will enjoy - well rated or not. I dont listen to the critics, I look at how well other people I know with similar taste rate films and go by the trailers.

I am defending the accusation of being instantly dismissive which one cannot be if you see everything.
-
Fair enough, I thought you wernt going to see it anyway though.
-
Loved it, Im very tempted to go watch it again.
-
I just watched it a second time, Neptune has released a good xVid of it... Would fully recommend watching it at the cinema 1st tho
-
I saw it again today, at the cinema for a second time, probably go again next week, I honestly cant get enough.
I still had goosebumps second time round.
-
Saw it today!
It was much better than I expected! Seriously ace film 8)
-
Its alright guys, but youre going on as if youve just seen Star Wars for the first time.
-
It rocked. Im not going to pretend it was a masterpiece of film making, but it was a glorius audio and visual treat, with some wonderfully comic moments
***SPOILER***
(just after the first battle where they are wandering around stabbing the survivors with spears)
***/SPOILER***
Well worth a watch in the cinema and I suspect the DVD release will be pretty good too.
So, lots of eye candy, terrific soundtrack, not much plot, pretty horrific dialogue but none the worse for that.
8/10
Cheers Beaker, cant believe I couldnt remember the NIN track, guess I dont listen to The Fragile enough :)
-
It was better than I was expecting.
-
I didnt like it.
-
I went to see this on premier last night as we had tickets from Christmas that will expire soon.
Dogsh*t, Im surprised that there are so many glowing reviews in this thread.
I would happily never see that again, it was boring, unoriginal and dragged its heels to two hours long, the end really could not come quick enough for me.
The action scenes arent even action, I found them all unimpressive, if you get your jollies to unrealistic CGI then I suppose you might like this film. Its nice how so many people are slaughtered, blood spraying everywhere, and yet everyone’s so clean afterwards, reminds me of the tar pit scene in true lies.
I suppose it was nice to see an attractive woman’s breasts, but its a big shame about the other 1 hour and 55 minutes.
-
Im quite surprised you thought it was so awful. The film was always going to be a CGI fest I knew, so I dont discount it for that. Maybe Ill think less of it on a repeat viewing.
-
LotR was also a cgi fest, but it was a believable one in its context.
Had this been properly portrayed as a similar piece of fiction then it might be OK. Unfortunately it wasnt.
-
LotR was also a cgi fest, but it was a believable one in its context.
Using Lord of the Rings and believable in the same sentence doesnt really add weight to your argument Serious.

It actually does, I used the same argument Clockd did. If its weak for LotR then its non-existant for 300 ;)
-
I still dont understand where this idea has come from that this was presented as a factual account, it clearly wasnt and was supposed to be heavily styled in this way, "a glorius audio and visual treat" as Goblin put it.
-
It should be described as almost totally fictitious and visually overdone which I doubt they would ever do. Their aim is to get bums on seats to watch the thing, not be factually accurate in any way.
Should we be overdoing historical events in this way? Only providing that its obvious that it is a fictitious rendering. It should be made clear and obvious that this is the case, otherwise idiots believe it, like the Davinci code rot.
In this case the real event is heroic enough without the silicone breast implants and fake muscles grafted onto it.

It was described as based on Frank Millers graphic novel 300. It was not at any point billed as a factual and accurate rendition of events at Thermopylae.
So there :mrgreen:

Strange I didnt notice she had any. Presuming you mean the oracle.
-
There was the sex scene as well he could be referring too.
I already pointed out its based on the graphic novel too Nos, it seems to have falled on deaf ears :mrgreen:

When me and walrus went, I must say I did enjoy the film but I was more impressed with the quality, a lot better then the lass few films I seen in terms of screen and projector quality, looked very sharp.
