I agree, best movie in a long time! My friends and I never said a word during the entire movie. A must see. One of the few I would see a second time in the theater.

Elton · 03-15-2007, 03:08 PM

EuphoricKaty80 · 03-15-2007, 03:20 PM

I have seen quite a bit of advertisment about the movie on the net and mainly myspace...but i cant seem to find what the general idea of the movie is.....can ya give me some clue??..

ADH8796 · 03-15-2007, 03:27 PM

The movie was great but there is actually already a post on it.

Elton · 03-15-2007, 03:30 PM

ADH8796 · 03-15-2007, 03:34 PM

Elton grab yourself a girl (preferably not your mom) and go see that movie I don't think the preview for the movie does it justice at all acutally I think the preview is kind of weird looking but the movie is great.

Elton · 03-15-2007, 03:35 PM

Here Here!!

300 Spartans

(From Wikipedia) Sparta's reputation as a land-fighting force was unequaled. In 480 BC a small Spartan unit under King Leonidas made a legendary last stand against a massive, invading Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae. One year later, Sparta assembled at full strength and led a Greek alliance against the Persians at Plataea. There, a decisive Greek victory put an end to the Greco-Persian War along with Persian ambition of expanding into Europe.

The movie is about the legendary battle where King Leonidas disobeys the Greek elders, takes 300 Spartan soldiers and does unbelievable damage to the Persians.

Definite go see and I don't say that lightly. In fact some friends and I are talking about seeing it again in IMAX.

91TPU · 03-15-2007, 04:27 PM

i was in absolute awe of the movie...i think i may have even drooled on myself when watching it...easily one of the best i have ever seen!

rubysRunner · 03-16-2007, 06:01 AM

I liked the story, but the film itself didn't do much for me. Was kind of lunchbag letdown I thought. I'd like to read the book though.

Don't read the Frank Miller graphic novel, read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.

I found the similitude to our current events and political players to be deliciously rich.

Wasn't it???

I found almost every tidbit of it scrumptious.

DH6twinotter · 03-21-2007, 07:52 AM

I've got to go see this. Everybody at work has been talking about it!

surf4runner · 03-21-2007, 11:17 AM

saw it last night...

Elkaholic · 03-21-2007, 03:16 PM

That movie was just freakin awesome!!! I might need to go see it again!

TFJ-4runner · 03-21-2007, 03:35 PM

Movies is amazing. They did a special about the event on the history channel telling the whole story which was very good also.

Here, here! Gates of Fire has to be one of the best books I've ever read. Don't bother with the graphic novel! Whenever I'm out of books to read, I re-read Gates of Fire all the time and it has never disappointed me.

For those that have read that book and seen the movie, how close does the movie come to being like the book? Also, would you recommend reading the book over seeing the movie or vice versa?

rubysRunner · 03-21-2007, 03:39 PM

Haha..I guess I'm outnumbered. Maybe it's my lack of testosterone

Edit: gonna order that book today...as I said, very interested in the story itself, just not lovin the movie.

The blood doesn't bother me, I actually thought it was kinda boring

Perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood when I saw it.

surf4runner · 03-21-2007, 04:03 PM

it did have a 'slow progression' to it, thats what my date said, she liked it though.
