Frank Miller's 300

Mixed emotions on this one for me. On the plus side it's Sparta so yey, but than again it's a Kurt Russell/Soldier Sparta so boo....
Guys with swords killing other guys with swords in ancient Greece, fell for it once but two times would be too much...

I have to agree on the echo thing and the CGI doesn't really work for me either...

I don't think the cgi looks bad, then again I like that kind of cheesy fantasy kind of look.
I thought so too and I seriously hope this isn't too overdramatic, but it still looks like a cool movie, I don't think it's meant to be some kind of Braveheart epic type (at least I hope not, that would totally destroy it) but you can't really tell from the trailer.
"i hate the CGI in the trailer.. Crap.. This story had so much potential, why didn't "Hollywood" do Gates of Fire instead?
But it looks a lot like the comic.. So i guess the fans will be thrilled. "
- Because gates of Fire was supposedly as cheesey but took itself far more seriously.

anybody seen the new trailer? The movie looks beautiful, with the creatures in the movie, it looks like this movie is the closest thing we will get to a berserk movie for a while.

I'm sure he means the gritty darkness setting that it takes place. Massive fights no hold bars action. Also it will probably have tons of blood.CnC said:
But that's not all that Berserk has to offer. 
It also has nudity and graphic sex!!!
But I'm sure this one will have nudity; lots of male genitalia, probably. Or, at least, oodles of phallic symbols.
Have fun, homos.

Well couldn't the same be said about Berserk, nothing like some man boy love/rape.Slightly Green said:But that's not all that Berserk has to offer.

Anyways, I'm still looking forward to this movie and its phallic symbols that I hope it has.

To be fair anyone making a film about this would have to include this line as its actually genuine dialogue, although I hope it does not go on to to long with the FREEDOM speeches.

The location of agony? The human soul.
While I agree the wolf scene needs some work, and will probably be a glaring flaw in the film, I'm actually really looking forward to this.
Despite the debacle that was Troy, I'm actually thinking this is going to be something special.
I'm abig fan of Frank Miller's work and Hyper stylized or not, 300 was a great graphic novel.
I know where I'll be March 9th.

If you want realism go see a documentary about the battle of Termopylae or something..
Thank god someone thinks the same as I on this whole topic.
When a movie has various orcs and beasts, I think it can be forgiven that the fighting style was tweaked a bit, as with the actual numbers of the battle.

Seriously if people on this board are expecting the real Thermopylae battle look some where else this movie is based off of the exaggerated events depicted by the genius Frank Miller in the comic book of the same name, plus the movie has gotten nothing but positive reviews, cant wait to see it!

goodbye assholes
I just bought tickets. I live near an IMAX theater so it was obvious that I should go there, even for $12 a ticket. I would have bought them for Friday but it was sold out...today is Tuesday. Yeah.
So Saturday night it is. I'm sure it'll be worth it.
Last time I saw a big movie in IMAX was Superman Returns. I saw it in regular theaters first, and saw the IMAX a week later. Despite this, tickets were sold out an hour before every show and I had to wait in line for 45 minutes. At the very least I'm sure 300 will outsell that.
I hope this movie is a real big hit, it looks so good. The next Gladiator maybe? (er, but surely not the next Ben Hur or Spartacus...movies I'd highly recommend seeing before you see 300)

Can't miss out on this! I'll be picking up a bootlegged copy soon enough.
