So this movie has been gettin horrible reviews, "too predictable, the actors blow," etc;
I'm goin to see it tmw either way, cuz critics hardly ever share the same views as i do... but yeah if someone sees it today since it came out today, you should post and let us know how it is..
Visually it was amazing. Story is kind of boring but there isnt much to it in the first place. It is great though. Im gonna go see it again tomorrow I think. Thats how tight it is. Im debating if I like this more than Gladiator which has more substance but this movie was just fuckin crazy. Go see it fuck a critic.
^^^yes. and its right after that that all greeks realized that they have to get together to right against them so they keep Greece free. It's the birth of Greece in a way.
The big ugly creature in the movie never existed, I'm sure everyone knew that, but the Persian army at the time was said to be around 250k against around 1000 to 2000 Greek Soldiers, which included the 300 Spartans that did stay at the end.
There was an actual traitor. Many of the quotes have been written on scrolls long ago. (Such as the one about 'we'll fight in the shade' and 'tonight we dine in hell (Hades)'
One of the only thing I'd expected to see was King Leonidas being decapitated and body mutilated, which was surprising to the Persians back then since it was not in their normal traditions to mutilate a body, but Xerxes was so frustrated to lose 10,000 soldiers and more (including the Elite Immortals). He decided to rip him apart.
so i saw it last night, by far the best movie i've seen in some time.. i think i may go see it again in theatres, except this time go watch it in an IMAX theatre
Ol' L -Dawg was the shit. and his wife was one bad mamajamma. fight scene kicked ass. my favorite was the first battle and they show L-dawg in slow motion kickin some major ass.
only thing i didn't like was the drunk dancing skank in the tower. that....... that was over done i think. good movie though.
