How? Just lots of quick, choppy cuts or did they have some of those CGI shots going on? (ala Pearl Harbour bomb)

The commercials I have seen have all been epic battle scenes and people yelling memorable commands during the battle scenes...I dunno, maybe it was just me smile

It's just following some market strategy...I hate to be the typical cynical hippy here, but I just don't see how it can interest many people short of 12 year old World of Warcraft players

So obviously I just don't understand why you like such a brash film as this. To me, it looks like something like Stealth, or Deja Vu, for more of a niche audience.

You might want to read "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield.

Comparing 300 to Stealth and Deja Vu is ridiculous. Believe me when I say it'll be nothing like them.

Watching the trailer for Stealth made me want to vomit, whereas watching the one for 300 got me excited.

And despite that, they really are different stories/films.

Yeah, the movie portrays the Spartans as fighting for Freedom and yet in reality, the Spartans had a VERY oppressive system of government.

With 3 classes, the nobles, the warrior class and the peasant class.

In contrast to the rest of the world at the time, Greece was considered to be a hell of alot more "free" then most of the world. Hell Xerxe's considered himself to be such a man in power that there was an alleged punishment of the sea where he gathered some men to whip the sea after his defeat in Salamis. Surely enough WE modern blokes view the spartans as oppressive, but you have to consider that relative to their time, it was still considered "free".

Me neither, aside from the last Lord of the Rings movie - ours is fairly small though. Pretty much everyone is going to be going to see it opening weekend.

I think you will enjoy it. No historical novel is 100% accurate, but this book is a real fun read, and probably a little closer to how things may have played out than most.

Gates of Fire is WAY better than 300, imo.

I wish they would've made a movie of that instead.

Meh, I'll settle for this.

Seeing this movie tomorrow. I've been anticipating it for a while. It looks absolutely ass-ruling. The sheer testosterone of it all might make me grow an extra nut.

From the trailers it appears to be visually stunning and has awesome looking battles. The cgi looks great. Too bad i probably cant see it due to the nudity/sex. At least not in theaters. erm
