QuoteIn the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 1 000 000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 1 700 000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.


This does look very good and one I will go and watch in the cinema

Was not a huge fan of the first movie but it was ok, and I am sure this will be something that you would watch but nothing big. The Trailer is cool though that is a good chase sequence

Love Or hate the last ones they were both big box office hits and Number 3 is set to follow and be bigger and better.
This will be the new most expensive movie ever made but looks to smash box office records (apparently)
I think it looks good and while not going to the cinema to watch it I will most likley pick it up on dvd

QuoteWhen a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States (and the world), its up to a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective John McClane (Willis), to take down the conspiracy, aided by a young hacker

It is John McClane, what can you say, he will have a very bad day and kill a lot of people and things will blow up

Straight to dvd cartoon but done in an interesting style and may be worth a look into

QuotePast and present collide in this epic adventure that reveals the origin of Iron Man. While raising the ruins of a long buried Chinese kingdom, billionaire inventor Tony Stark digs up far more than he bargained for. He unleashes an age-old prophecy that foretells the resurrection of the Mandarin, the emperor of Chinas darkest and most violent dynasty. In order to confront the destructive force, Tony creates an armored suit infused with high-tech weaponry. To stop the evil that he himself has raised from the earth, Tony must become his greatest invention ever -- Iron Man! The newly born champion must travel to the four corners of the earth to battle the Mandarins henchmen, the Elementals -- four magical warriors who harness the power of the elements -- earth, water, wind, and fire -- with deadly chemistry. But is the Iron Knight, as he his known in the prophecy, strong enough to defy fate and turn back the malevolent forces hell-bent on earths destruction?

Die Hard 4 is the only one Id go see, and only if it dont end up as a pg.

Sorry but comic books stop being cool when you turn 8yrs old. At least "strange black entity" sounds less naff than the green giblet dude I guess.

It helps fill in the bits between the action sequences. Really they do have a reasonable script ;)
