I hated the slow motion that was done in 300. There were parts where it was effective, but it sucked when it was slowed down then sped up during the battle scenes. If Zach Snyder does that during The Watchmen, I swear I will track him down and beat the sh*t out of him.

I seem to recall liking one guy.But not once did your stomach turn in disgust over the non-stop slow motion? The endless, needless, non-stop, scene-extending madness never made you question why you were born and lived your life in such a way that led you to that moment in time where you found yourself watching this bastard of a movie?
I agree with that. There were too many slo-mo's, in fact it was more painful than King Kong. That's why my favorite scene was the first wave. The only slo-mo there was, was when they were charging the Greek camp. But the battle itself had no slow scenes, and was tactically accurate.
Oh, and the Persians unleashed the arrow shower before the first wave.

History buff, huh? Well, I can't recall a single battle in history that took place in slow motion. Just because it was based on a graphic novel doesn't mean that what takes pace on the screen has to happen as quickly as a panel from the comic. And if that was done to please Frank Miller, then Frank Miller needs to pull that stick out of his own ass.
Historically there was a lot wrong with the movie. The Spartans weren't naked, the Immortals didn't look like that, Xerxes didn't look like that, Ephialtes didn't look like that, the Greeks didn't build a wall of corpses, and the Persians didn't have any elephants or rhinos.
I can't decide what was more absurd: the fact that they had a rhino, or the fact that the dumb animal with poor eyesight actually knew which humans to attack.

That's because it was done with different directors. Different styles, and also Frank wasn't as involved in the project like he did in Sin City. If they want to please Frank Miller like they did in Sin City...heck! why not? You clearly see the difference.
Well, then he needed to speak up before this movie made it to theaters. Of course, he might have watched the movie and fallen into a coma before he could complain.
