Slingerland Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE Writing...awesome Choreography...awesome BATTLES...awesome Experience...awesome Special Effects...awesome Acting...awesome My friends and I had a massive, manly, shirtless, snowball fight in the University Plaza afterwards...at 2 in the morning, because it made us feel so empowered (and because they're all theatre students...lol crazies). 300 is easily the most amazing, action-packed, and masculine movie you'll ever see. Period. 5 FUCKING STARS. 10 OUT OF 10. A+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckboy Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 300 was one of the best movies I've ever fucking seen. ranks JUST below A Goofy Movie. Yes, it's THAT good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 All I know about 300 is that it is the reason I can upload 300 photos on Myspace... Doesn't seem like my kind of movie, though. Reminds me too much of Gladiator, and I foudn that to be just "meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron C-T Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I dunno.. I realize that it's supposed to be stlyized and all but I hate how I can subconciously note the CG'dness... it just it seems incredibly odd. That and.. it doesn't really interest me anyway.

Guest Shadix Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 What?! It's an adaptation of a comic which is an adaptation of a book which is an adaptation of historical battle about 300 Spartan soldiers holding off the massive Persian Army for like a week? I do believe all you naysayers should consider rethinking your views if only to conform to your own personal stereotype. Gladiator this is not.

shadowgoten Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 The movie was fucking epic and amazing, i was gripped the whole 2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Shadix: So wait.. we have to automatically like this movie just because of the fact that it's based on like a million things otherwise we're conforming? I watch movies I find interesting and this I do not. Sure, I guess the fights would look cool, even if there's random specularity all over the place that reminds me of a next-gen FPS. It's something that I'd download- not something I'd spend 7 bucks + candy/popcorn and drink on. "We will blot out the sun with our rain of arrows! Well, then...we shall fight in the shade." Ugh, that just screams corny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 It's actually a pretty intense epic line that summizes the spartan's ultimate determination and willingness to do battle at any cost. They feared no man and no weapon. And that made them the most feared force in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yea, I know what it's about and it does sound like better material for a movie than half the other crap that's come out recently (Epic Movie, anyone?). That being said, I'm still not interested in seeing the movie. I mean.. I'd watch it if a friend had it or something but I'm not in any hurry to see it. To be honest though, there's pretty much nothing on my list of things to see at the moment. Nothing's really grabbing my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Spartan's are the fucking toughest mofo's ever to walk the face of the earth. The fighting style they employ, good god, with the shields and all that jazz. I don't really understand why you could bash the artistic direction they took with the movie until you actually watch the movie, it looks great!

Koray Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Nah I respect your opinion Scatta. Of course. As long as the only reason that you don't like it, is because everyone else does. And since I know you aren't like that it's fine with me. Some things just don't appeal to others and we shouldn't chastise people for that.

Aaron C-T Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Oh-ho-ho? The same way half the people here can bash games before they've even played them. Only, (1) that actually makes less sense because you don't exactly know how a game plays without playing it, you can come to a conclusion on how a movie looks by watching a trailer because you're seeing how it looks (2) I'm not bashing them only saying that I'm not a fan of it- there's a complete difference. In fact, the only thing I've said that can be considered "bashing" is that line I said I thought was corny but that's not really even close. I'd see it probably for the art direction and not so much because, as you all keep putting it "it's awesome" or because it's a "guy movie." It's also worth noting I didn't see Apocalypto either.

shadowgoten Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 It's also worth noting I didn't see Apocalypto either. I didn't either...had no interest. Plus, I never rate a game before I actually play it (see: all sonic games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 No. There is no excuse. 300 is the manliest of men movie wise. That makes it awesome. YOU CHICKS NEED TO GTFO MY /sfghq/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was ACTUALLY documented on the field of battle in the real Battle of Thermopylae. If you read up (I, personally, used an encyclopedia), you'll find the dialogue is quite suited for the movie, regardless of the cheese factor. It's intense shit.
