Yes, the movie was outstanding. I'm a big fan of the book, and the movie really stayed true to it, so that's cool.

Catch it at the Imax if you haven't seen it, it's worth it.

Actually, 300 was directed by Zack Snyder, same dude who did Dawn of the Dead in 04. Sin City was directed by Robert Rodriguez/Frank Miller and a scene, or so, by Tarantino.

Amazing scenes that almost looked like paintings. I thought those abs looked faked too but I heard that they trained extensively to get that physique. I was pleased. :) I tried going and seeing it again at the Imax last night but they were sold out :( I definitely want to catch it there.

The actor that plays the main character got FUCKING buff for this movie! I've seen him in past movies which were probably made like 2 or 3 years ago and the dude was normal, I mean ripped, but normal. In 300 the dude looks like a bodybuilder. How did he get that buff in such a short time? Steroids?

And how about the storyteller, who played the "friar" in Van Helsing and "Faramir" in LOTR....dude got ripped. I gotta think that even though I'm sure they worked out for the roles, I agree there was some "enhancements" made with CGI. Still, those dudes were freaking ripped.

I can see that scottish dude, who played Leonidas, without the beard in another movie, but I can't put my finger on which one and it's killing me....what other movies has he done?

EDIT: Nevermind, I had a lull at work and looked it up...

Movies I've seen him in:

Reign of Fire (the one I remembered him in)
Dracula 2000

Does tougher equal better? I can't imagine this being a better movie than Gladiator. Better fight scenes, more gore, cooler effects yes I can see that being the case, but no way this is a better movie. I seriously doubt it could even even fuck with Sin City, let alone Gladiator, one of the best movies of the decade.

I never said it was "better" than gladiator, I said it makes gladiator look like a love story.... IE: More hardcore fighting, gore and pretty much everything else you mentioned...

As far as Sin City, to each his own, IMO I've seen better acting in B movies then in Sin City.

Well, you definately dont get to relate to most of the characters, dont really get emotionally attached like you do in Gladiator. The story isnt as deep or emotional either. But the thing about 300, and its almost hard to hard to explain, is that for me, it was just something I have never seen anything like. Gladiator was good because of story, charactor development, spending time with both sides of the movie characters, good and bad. But in 300, you really get a sense that no matter what happens to these guys, its what they love. Most people will say that its just good because of the special effects, but the overwhelming feeling you get from this movie about fighting for your freedom at any cost (even though that sounds so cheesy), gave me goosbumps pretty much the whole movie. And the last scene of the movie was almost too much for me to handle, I wanted to jump on screen and give my life for these guys as well. It might not be as good acting, script or overall story of Gladiator, but for what it is, it really was one of the best movies I have ever seen

TEHRAN (AFP) - War epic "300", a smash hit in the United States for its gory portrayal of the Greco-Persian wars, has drawn the wrath of Iranians for showing their ancestors as bloodthirsty "savages".
ADVERTISEMENT


The press, officials and bloggers have united in denouncing the film as another example of "psychological warfare" against Tehran by its American arch enemy at a time of mounting tension over its nuclear programme.

"Hollywood declares war on Iranians," said the headline in the reformist daily Ayandeh-No of the film which tells the story of the 300 Spartan soldiers fighting off ancient Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae.

"It seeks to tell people that
Iran, which is in the Axis of Evil now, has for long been the source of evil and modern Iranians' ancestors are the ugly murderous dumb savages you see in '300'," fumed the paper on its front page.

A cultural advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described the film as "American psychological warfare against Iran."

"American cultural officials thought they could get mental satisfaction by plundering Iran's historic past and insulting this civilization," Javad Shamaghdari told semi-official Fars news agency.

Three MPs in the Iranian parliament have also written to the foreign ministry to protest to the production and screening of this "anti-Iranian Hollywood film".

The film has already proved a major box office hit in the United States and, unsurprisingly, Greece.

It is highly improbable the film would ever be screened in the Islamic republic but contraband DVDs of the latest American movies are often available on the streets no sooner that they are internationally released.

Cyber savvy Iranians have already started online petitions and set off "Google bombs" against "300".

The furore over "300" is by no means the first time Iran has been left fuming over Western portrayals of its ancient history.

Iranians were also enraged by the 2004 epic 'Alexander' about the conquest of the Persian Empire and a notorious 2005 British newspaper review of an exhibition of antiquities which branded ancient Persia the "Evil Empire".

Im into ancient greek history so I was looking forward to this movie for a while. I think it met my expectations, I fucking loved it. The director and graphics gave the viewers the 'feel' that frank miller probably wanted.

I personally would have liked the blood more realistic, but it still looked sweet. But I thought they had too many black dudes as persians, they made it seem like persians are 85% black. Really I would have liked it to be more historically accurate, but thats just nitpicking, for what it aimed to do, it fucking ROCKED, and I can't wait to see it at the IMAX in a few days.

For those asking how they got so ripped for this movie, Gerard Butler (Leonidas) is on the cover if this month's Men's Health and there is a good artcile on how he did it... his trainer had him doing a set of 300 reps of various calistenic excercises... that was 1 set. He was doing 2-a-days for 4 months with that guy and then with some South American weight lifting champ.

How can one be so opinionated about a movie if he hasn't even seen the whole thing? Especially the ending. What a joke.

I've rented movies and fell asleep in the middle of them, doesn't mean they were bad movies, means I was tired. Stupid way to judge a movie.

How can one be so opinionated about a movie if he hasn't even seen the whole thing? Especially the ending. What a joke.

thats an interesting thought. however, Sin City was awesome and anybody who doesn't think that is infantile, lol.

while this movie kicks some ass, i think its overhyped at this point. went and saw it yesterday and wasn't overly impressed after all the positive reviews i had read.

I saw it last night and I thought it was pretty good, I didnt think it was amazing or anything, but their were some moments were i was like "damn", but I enjoyed it, seems like it took a lot of pages from the Gladiator.

I can't believe I agree with JGW about something, but Sin City was a very nicely done movie. It was supposed to be cartoonish and over the top - that's the nature of the Frank Miller graphic novels. I loved the use of shadow and color in many of the scenes, and I was well entertained throughout the movie.

IMHO, this was an okay movie. But isnt this movie about when 300 spartans held off a million persians? A historical movie and not some comic book movie?

It was based off of Frank Millers graphic novel 300, which was based off of the Battle of Thermopylae. It wasnt supposed to be historically accurate. And it wasnt a million Persians, more like 300,000-400,000

As Mardigan says, its intentionally based off of the graphic novel and not actual history.

Xerxes was a pretty cool character. I thought the voice was tacky at first... but it got cooler the more he talked.

If you were a fan of either graphic novel you're probably a good fan of the respective movies, I thought the sin city novels were aiiiight and the movie was cool with good replayability....but I thought this movie was way better simply because of the 'fiction-historical' aspects of it.

Xerxes looked fucking awesome too.

This movie was BAD ASS. Very much lived up to the hype. You don't even realize that all that stuff was filmed in front of a green screen. It's so surreal. Totally got into it. And yes, it makes you want to beat the sh!t out of someone when you're done. I'd definitely see it again AND buy it on DVD.

...watching Sin City right now as i work out. every time i watch it i think, "damn this is a great movie!" leading me to the conclusion:

1. can't imagine why anybody wouldn't like it, except maybe a girl
2. its significantly better than 300 (and i liked 300)
