Hows this for an inaccuracy, how does the king of sparta get a scottish accent? :lol:

First link I pulled out from google..LOL

But the point is are they lying about the film e.g.


Hell, this new version is more like a Fantasy! It has Warriors riding on giant Rhinoceroses, mythical creatures, handsome brave Greek Warriors, handsome brave Greek King Leonidas and beautiful Queen Gorgo, Ugly Savage Persians, deranged Persian Immortals with scary masks and of course Xerxes portrayed as the usual Persian Barbarian Tyrant! Each Greek Warrior kills tens and hundreds of Persians before he dies bravely in the battle!

Nuff Said

Can't wait to see it.

and yes, the Thespians are in it too. Leonidas makes a great gag about their numbers Vs those of the Spartans...

Its a very shallow film, but if you just want to be entertained who cares. I was happy to sit there and have a laugh at the occasional gags, and watch a good action film.

Saw it last night and have to say it was visually very entertainig and brilliantly done but it was so Hollywood story wise i'm surprised they had'nt changed the story in so far as it was the Americans and not the Spartans who held off the Persians !!! :undecided

It surely can't be better than Sin City, can it?

you are SO RIGHT

yep, shallow, but a very good film!

I thought it was VERY funny, it IS a very entertaining film but when it ended, I couldn't help but feel a bit let down even if it IS a good film, I'm going to watch it with my girlfriend possibly next Sunday :)

Constant propaganda speeches constant pleas for the spartans to lay down their weapons which went on ignored and so much for fighting in the shade, eh? lol :D

saw it tonight, awesome movie! watched it in digital cinema :D

Its a must see just for the visuals. Like I said dont try to look to deeply and enjoy it. I am sure you will.

Seconded :D Although I thought it was going to be be way OTT from the trailers, but it wasn't. And it was pretty funny ... mostly in a homoerotic context - there's a lot to be spoofed and parodied!

People's opinions will vary, but I enjoyed300 slightly more than I did Sin City. However, this apparently makes me gay (according to my so called's!).

I loved it, yes its verging on style above contented but I dont care :)

Arcadians though. Something along the lines of:

Leonidas: You, what is your profession?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a potter, sir.
Leonidas: And you, Arcadian, what is your profession?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a sculptor.
Leonidas: And you?
Arcadian Soldier: I'm a blacksmith.
Leonidas: [Turning towards the Spartans] Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: Harooh! Harooh! Harooh!
Leonidas: See old friend, I brought more soldiers than you did.

:lol:

^ Made me chuckle when the first guy goes "I'm a potter" - lol he just sounds so feeble.

Theres loads of good quotes from this film. Is it possible to get the script from anywhere?
