It looks to me like one boring bloodfest... I can't understand all the hype about it. What's with the obnoxious overuse Matrix-style slow-mo in combat scenes? The ****ty blood-splurting sound effects?
I mean, sure, the movie looks nice (esthetically speaking) but what else is there?
Ok, so far, all I've seen is the official trailers and other excerpts which were only combat scenes, so that's as far as my knowledge of the movie goes. I'll still go see it because I'm curious and I like Frank Miller, but... yeah, like I said, I don't get the hype.

ITs a very stylized look at the Battle of Thermopylae. Fracking cool look at it though.

It looks terrible to me. I mean, they're like naked, how the hell is that believable that they didn't die, and all those arrows and **** would kill them in a second.
They could've at least made something remotely believable instead of ruining a great story with **** over the top action movie stuff.

did you even read any of Frank Miller's comics?
if it follows the same trend as Sin City I will say that the movie has much less gore and blood than the comic book.
that said I want to see the damn movie

Well during that era they were wearing breastplates too. Which is something that would hide the bodies i guess, so they skipped that.
In reality they wore breastplates too.

thats debatable. pick up two different books on the spartans. One says they fought completely naked, the other will say breastplate (leather mind you).

That about sums it up for me. I saw it on Sat and you could have show me a 20 min version with all the cool fight segments and I would have been happy.
Anyway, here is the best thing to come out of this.

As someone who spent 4 years studying ancient Greece and Rome, let me say...
No.
Spartans didn't wear armor in combat, they just used shields, spears and swords. Armor in general was not very advanced in those days. People wearing leather and chain were the heavily armored troops.
Also, they didn't die, because of battle formations, and their shields. Arrows might tear through flesh, but they don't easily tear through bronze hammered shields with thick layers of leather/hide between the metal.
The '300' isn't as 'accurate' as Herodotus's Histories, which is the book that describes the battle of Thermopayle, but it's good enough. Please brush up on ancient greek history.

I don't get it. I mean it looks kind of funky- decent enough swords-and-sandles plot based a little on history, pretty battles, some OTT stylised characters. But whats the big deal? "Next level of film making" my ass.

As a Ancient Greek history major the spartan Soldiers wore a bronze breast plate. Which was actually more then the rest of the Greek soldiers of the time.
The old conclusion was based off of Art work. The conclusion based off of Art work had two flaws.
1. Spartans by and large were not artist, so the work was not produced locally.
2. The Greeks have a love of the human body and would portray as often as possible.
The Conclusion that the Spartans did in fact wear breast plates is attributed to the large number of bronze breast plates having been dug up and been dated to 500BC.

Shut up waving your peens about, this sort of arguement is in the same vein of the "my dad can beat your dad up" arguememts, annoys the hell outta me. But western is right Spartans did wear breastplates.

Lmao.
First off I'd admit that my friend and I are losers but...
In the scene where the Persian man is sent to intimidate the Spartans with there numbers and "uberness" we both looked at eachother and laughed and said that the Persians were like carebears how they always say they are gunna get a bunch of uber people and pwn you. Silly Persians and their blobs.

Spartan gatecamps are the bomb.
Xerxes went running home after the naval battle of Salamis and he left Mardonius in charge of the conquered Greek territories. A combined Greek army later defeated Mardonius at the battle of Plataea.
However, most argue that the battle at Salamis would not have happened had not Leonidas and the Spartans held the Persian army at Thermopylae.

I cant wait for this movie to come out in the UK.
I've been following it for months. I absolutely love ancient greek history/mythology (Im actually almost at the end of reading The Iliad currently) but I wont care if its not completely accurate. Thats not why I watch films, I watch them to be entertained not to write an essay on.
From the clips Ive seen Im surprised its a 15 rating. I thought it would be 18.

I'm what you would call a greek freak, I absolutely love the history of Greece and their Mythology.
Having said that, This movie was soo kick ass, maybe not totally accurate to what is known of the battle of Thermopylae, but close enough to get my peen jumping about!
The style of the movie could not have been done any better imo....
The only detail that i didnt like was how they made Xerxes out to be. But if they didnt, the movie wouldnt of had the same feel to it.

Watching this movie was like watching a friend play Dynasty warriors, only it was Greek.
I had heard the book 300 wasn't very accurate to the actual history of the battle, but it seemed pretty close, and it was closer than Troy was to the Illad, not that that says much.
One thing I did notice though, in the movie there is only a few mentions of the Persians being over a million in number. In Histories, by Herodotus, he says how they were several million in number, and iirc, he talks about the 10,000 immortals, and how when one should fall, another soldier instantly enters their rank so that there are always 10,000 of them. The force Leonidas leads is also 6,000 men, however once it is discovered that they have been betrayed by a shepherd, Leonidas and the 300 spartans stay, while the rest of the Greek retreat. The movie shows just the spartans fighting, with the few hundred others staying back, but it was actually the full force that fought until defeat was inevitable.
I just wish I could remember who I let borrow the book from me. Being a History major back in college, I have a few dozen books, however Thucydides book was better as a history book, as he was present in some of the conflicts as an officer for Athens in their war against Sparta. However given that the book literally ends in mid sentence, it's believed he died while writing it.

However given that the book literally ends in mid sentence, it's believed he died while writing it.
The original 300 comic took quite a few liberties with the story...but then again, the Greek historians probably did too.
There is some debate over how many Persians were in the army, some estimate nearly 5 million (with support included, actual fighting troops prob 1.5 mill), to a much lower number of less than 500k actual fighting troops. Many speculate that an army that had sailed to Greece could not carry enough food or scrounge enough water to remain an effective fighting force, which is why there is speculation on the far lower numbers.
300 the comic and 300 the movie give very little credit to the Thespians (there were 700 of them) and approx 4,500 other troops that were on the Greek side at the time of the Battle of Thermopylae.
P.S. Edited to add... If the Persians brought 5 million men, they would have crashed the node. ;)

P.S. Edited to add... If the Persians brought 5 million men, they would have crashed the node. ;)
Who says it wasn't happening?
I dunno about you, but those Persians looked pretty lagged while the Spartans used their haxsploitz and cheat battle-specced chars to login and get free shots.
TBH, I think Xerxes petitioned the Spartans, and that's why his men where shown the other trail.

The movie is borderline art, if you cant appreciate it for that then don't go see it you will be dissapointed.
As a graphics design student this video was awesome to me

IŠve seen the trailer and I will so see this movie.
Hot half naked men and a lot of violence. Who can say no to that?
Why is this signature pink?

Go Spartans!.....beat those damn Wolverines & Buckeyes!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
The movie was quite cool.
I was watching the latest History Channel program yesterday about the 300("Last Stand of the 300") and it was mentioned that the Spartan warriors were classified as heavy infantry and wore lamellar armor. Previous posters mentioned possible breastplates too. Others state that Spartans were light infantry equipped with only shields & helms. I guess what this means is that most scholars would probably agree that history is NOT an exact science.
I suppose the real truth really doesn't matter when you go see this film. This movie is VERY entertaining & is making a ton of money.
I loved it!

It was a good movie, but not as great as it was hyped up to be. There was WAAAAYYYY too much slow motion and obviously computer generated blood splatter. It made me miss the good old fashioned ass kicking found in braveheart.

Sure. But all here who loved "300" can read Gates of Fire which is a very realistic describing of what was Λακεδαίμων/Σπάρτη. This novel is a perfect way to understand what was en jeu in the Battle of Thermopylae.

Please don't compare this awesome fast-paced actionflick with that Mel Gibson-motion-blur-latex-axe-puppyface hero drama-snorefest.

Easily one of my favourite movies of all time. They style to it was awesome. If I wanted realism I would go watch the history channel. Its a movie, you go to be entertained, not educated.

It's a very dramatised, holywoodised and gory film, not sure how far from the truth it is, but it keeps the quotation about remembering the spartans which is engraved at the site today, and for entertainment value was pretty decent.

the book is quite good, very fact based but as such is quite long windfed and a bit on the boring side, takes a lot of effort to get into it and really enjoy it.

Don't listen to Malthros Zenobia because he has no idea what he's talking about. That 4 years of studying must've been how long it took him to read the comic.
And incase you didn't notice this movie has propaganda written all over it.

The Battle of Thermoplyae has ALWAYS been a propaganda story. It was propaganda for the Greeks, for the Romans and every civilization afterwards that looked at the incredible odds that the few thousand that faced the might of the seemingly unstoppable Persian army. It isn't identifying with the victor that matters, it is making any achievement against incredible odds.
Just like the story of Horatio at the Bridge, Hannibal's march over the Alps or 101st Airborne at the Battle of Bastogne in more recent history.
I could toss out the English against the Zulus at Rouke's Drift too. That was 4,500 Zulu against around 100 English defenders.
Stories of incredible military feats will ALWAYS become propaganda, and there is little in the human makeup that will change that.
