Are you perhaps refering to the NiN song they used for the trailers? "Just Like You Imagined"

I was disapointed in 300. Despite it being horribly misrepresentive of the real events. It was repetive and predictable. And it's representation of Sparta was so of base that instead of King Leonidas yelling "This is Sparta!" He could of easily of said "This is the United States! In Lioncloths!" And still of been accurate. Freedom, Liberty, Justice? That is almost laughable when talking about Sparta. Miller had to of done very little studing or cared about the real events in Sparta. It was just an average action movie that was horribly overhyped.

I watched 300 last week. It was okay, despite how much I wanted to watch it for Gerard Butler. The plot was very weak and script very shitty. There were moments where I just had to laugh out loud (that flute playing wolf/goat thing, anyone? the slo-mo rotating decapitated head? Xerxes crying over a facial scratch? floating - and very fake looking - blood globules with every stab? mask wearing ninjas?)

But the pros can outweigh the cons. Butler's body was simply fantastic to behold. Aside from that, the artistry was great and the action was pretty good, especially when slowed down.

Overall, I felt no connection with the film. The ending hardly spurred sadness within me, although my roommate was tearing up. It is still a good movie for laughs.

you will all(hopefully not all:) get mad at me... IMO(i've said IMO!:) this movie is boring... sure effects are nice... but i've got tired of slow'up/speed'up convention, also im tired of movies that shows nothing more than flying head/legs/arms... sorry:P

PS. check 300 parody in new southpark :] "This is LES BOS!" x D

Hmm.

Well.

So I watched this movie the other night and while it had its moments, overall, it was pretty disappointing. This might be because I want movies to have a good plot and good acting much more than having spectacular effects and stuff like that. No discussion, this movie is breathtaking as far as latter is concerned, but the rest was just a little bit above average.

I liked Sin City much more.

It wasn't supposed to be representative of the actual battle of thermopylae. It's based on a comic book (or graphic novel, whatever) so things are going to be exaggerated. It's a movie, not a video for history class.


Also, no one is going to take you seriously if you keep saying "of" instead of "have." I'm sorry to point this out, but I absolutely hate that.

That should be: He could have easily said

That should be: Miller had to have done very little

Okay, that's the end of my lame grammar-policing.


I agree that it wasn't accurate since Spartan men were believed to have killed slaves to instill fear in their slave population, but how would that fit into the movie? While I agree that it's not too accurate, it was meant to be an action film and I believe it achieved what it set out to do: entertain.

this movie was freakin crazy!!!!
the plot might have sucked but it was still the greatest thing i've ever seen

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but does anyone have the lyrics to the "chanting" track that plays during the coronation scene.

I agree. The slow motion fight scenes had me floored.
