thats not an article thats a link to an online encyclopedia.


Just curious how many of you have actually read 300? The frank miller comic, not the "article"?

I have read it. As I said in a previous post, it is an interesting story, and the movie will certainly expand on things not in the novel. Some of the trailer shots are directly from the novel, like in Sin City.

Well I study history and I can tell you that I would rather read the "article" than some comic book.

The comic does have me intrigued however, (apparently a lot of other people too as it is up to #44 in books on Amazon) if Frank Miller concentrates on battle tactics of the age and tries to tell an entertaining story while trying to stick to something semi-realistic (The dress of the Persian army is nearly spot on from mosaics from the era) then yes I will attempt to check out 300. However if you really want to learn about the battle and it's ramifications on Greek culture (if not the world) then I suggest reading Herodotus: The Histories.

Regardless I have been waiting for a modern movie about Thermopylae for a long time and this looks like it is going to kick some major ass!

I know I'm late to the game but I finally saw the trailer for this when I saw "The Departed". I had been ignoring this thread and the special videos on apple's trailer site.

One word. Wow.

Muad'Dib

Ya, I saw the trailer to this at Saw III. It looks amazing. Definately going to have to catch this one in the theatre.

LOL! You should read the comic book instead.

This movie is going to kick SO much ass!
I am already salivating at the thought of it on HD DVD.

Loved Sin City and thought this sounded pretty cool, but the trailer on Apple.com makes it look like a big streaming pile of shit. I kept waiting for a voice to scream out "Mortal Combat!!!"

Kal-El

I dunno. The visuals are great, but everytime Gerard Butler says a line, I end up laughing. I'm guessing that's not the intent?

iggystar

This was a near-perfect trailer for me. My heart skipped a beat (loving Gerard Butler has a little to do with it).

Terrell

My sentiments exactly. Not only do I laugh whenever he says something, I laugh whenever he's making a facial expression. It's just so hilariously over the top and corny. But it is a looker from a visual aspect.

fumanstan

I love the over the top lines in this. 300 has quickly become one of my most anticipated movie of 07

Lateralus

I give this trailer a resounding "FUCK YEAH!"

Good stuff, I'm pumped about this movie and I can't wait to see it; this is my most anticipated movie of the year.

valkyrie

Count me in the "hell yeah" crowd. Absolutely stunning trailer. Can't WAIT to see this in HD-DVD.

Wow....just...wow....

astrochimp

Looks bitchin'

MASAMUNE2

Amazing!!

Giantrobo

Holy Smokes that was good!!

Panda Phil

Damn, really stoked from the trailer. Unfortunately, marketting weasels are pretty good at polishing turds, so I'll await it with crossed fingers.

starman9000

Looks pretty good, has the same feel as God of War. The main guys seems a little annoying, but hopefully he doesn't talk much.

Setzer

Holy crap that was awesome!

Simpson Purist

This movie looks hella awesome.

"Madness.....THIS....IS....SPARTA!!!"

RocShemp

That's exactly what I said when we watched this trailer at work. I believe Gerard Butler would make a great Kratos if a God of War movie were made but I doubt he'd do it for fear of being typcast (and, like most videogame adaptations, it'd probably suck).

Ravenous

Fuck this movie... They just remade The Warrior only with back in the day stuff.

Can You Dig It!!!

bhk

This looks great. No angst ridden protagonists, no weird camera angles, no prostitutes with hearts of gold(not sure about that based on the trailer). Looks entertaining.
