After seeing the trailer and reading the graphic novel, I can't wait to see this movie. It is a bout 300 Spartans who defended Sparta (and Greece) against a combined Persian Army of 1,000,000 (as legends have been told). This is not another Alexander clone so don't worry. The guy who made Sin City made this movie so expect visual greatness and of course violence. What do you guys think? check out the trailer in apple.com/trailers

Considering I briefly studied the Persian battles in History I'm eager to watch the movie. The Battle of Thermopylae depicted by Frank Miller, this will be quite interesting. Apparently it is actually fairly accurate besides the monsters that were added in.

Yeah, I am so into those ancient battles from Greek myth and actual historic events. Those were the days where the leaders fought alongside the soldiers. As for the monsters, yeah I think they were just added there for cinematic value.

Heh, you seem to have forgotten the Darius that ruled during Alexander the Great's invasion on Persia. Constantly running away while his army was getting massacred.

i've seen the trailer of this movie and it looks awesome, especially the graphics, they are very different and look like they're out of a really cool videogame, i really like this one scene when some guys pushes this other guy into a well like thing, it looks like it's not to be missed, definitely a big screen flick. can't wait for it!!!

I love that scene too. Hehehe... I'm a bit surprised that there's not much media going around for this movie.

Ahh, Leonidas pushing the Persian ambassador into the well. Quite a provocative chap, he was. A huge mistake but hey, his wife told him he should. ;)

i've seen the trailer too when i went tothe movies last weekend. i'm not much for violent flicks but i would have to say the cinematography was fantastic. i think every shot was done and executed artistically, not to mention the digital add-ons that made it look so graphically well. maybe i'll watch it too.

Cool. Yeah the cinematography is really well done. I sure hope that the movie lives up to the promise the trailer and the graphic novel gave it's audiences.

I think that Frank Miller can make the movie exciting, not that the subject needs it. I haven't read the graohic novel, but I studied the battle in college courses and I also read a novel by Steven Pressfield called The Gates of Fire. This was a great retelling of the battle that incorporated some dramatized "history" of the Spartans and the way they trained and their attitude toward fear and bravery. Let me just say I'm expecting no more realism than I got from Sin City, but it doesn't mean I won't enjoy it. I often think Troy would have been better if it had been told not as a historical dramatization, but a mythological interpretation. Perhaps 300 will not be so stiff with the more dramatic characters/monsters. I only hope they don't add a romantic vein just to appeal to the masses, this story doesn't need it.

300 is an absolutely terrific movie. the attitude, the valour the spartans display send a chill down my spine. so much to keep their honour. they challenged and even demured a person who projected himself as god. i think they were bogged down by the wrong priests who just had no respect for these warriors. my personal favorite line in the movie when the king says : SPARTANS NEVER RETREAT!!!!!!!!!!. the greatest sequence when the king as a young lad fights the beast and also , when he kicks the intruder into the well..

300 - 300, starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey and David Wenham
300 is one good movie to watch, everything about this movie is excellent. The graphics is too good, the way the fight between the army is taken is good. You must have probably have seen this movie by now, if not it's one of the must watch movie, you have to see it ...
