cant wait to watch this movie! its already in imdb's top 250!

Aisey... no sneak preview on Wednesday night? Then, have to queue up on Thursday lah..

The battle isn't in Rome Total War. This is a Greek War. Happened before Achilles's era.

As for the beard, some say its ugly some say its ok. It's the norm in that era by the way.

As for the soundtrack. One question. Does anyone know what is the track title for Trailer 2 HD at the scene where the Persian messenger rides to Sparta? (The scene where he and his escorts ride over a hill) The sentimental one. No vocals.

I got a copy (of questionable origins) of the soundtrack by Tyler Bates and scanned through it to no avail. But the soundtrack is alright. Not too bad.

i hope this will be A ok movie ..

In an early screening in August 2006, Mark Cronan of Comic Book Resources gave a positive review for the film. Cronan described most of the film as being "a bit of a cross between Gladiator and several scenes from the Lord of the Rings movies". He found the film compelling, leaving him "with a feeling of power, from having been witness to something grand". However, he admitted, "This is a chest thumping, dirty, writhing mass of violence at times... It is all quite stylized and probably less gory overall than Miller's other big screen success, Sin City. Still, it's there, and if you don't want to see men fighting and dying, do not see this movie." IGN's Todd Gilchrist disagreed. Giving the film a score of five stars out of five, he said "Leonidas' relationship with his wife Gorgo offers a rare display of tenderness and devotion that is seldom seen in 'guy movies' like this one". He acclaimed Zack Snyder as a cinematic visionary as well as the visual sensibility of the film. George Rousch acclaimed the film, citing its visual appeal and Gerard Butler's performance.

300 had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 14, 2007 and received a standing ovation from its 1700 strong audience. Alex Billington said "Be ready to be blown away on March 9th", calling it a film ahead of its time. Kirk Honeycutt praised it, saying "Those turned off by the sex-and-violence cartoonery of Sin City can embrace 300". Emanuel Levy also praised the film, complimenting Snyder in that he "retells Miller's saga not as an ancient tale (sort of "once upon a time..."), but as a classic and eternal one." Todd McCarthy of Variety gave it a positive review, and praised Lena Headey, though he criticised Butler as he "bellows most of his bellicose lines, which become tiresomely repetitive", as well as the lack of focus on geography. Erik Davis heavily criticised the film, calling it "one of the most overly hyped films in history... a boring, fast-food version of better films, with better scripts, better acting and better battles. 300 men fought to defend their freedom but, in the end, 300 people (including me) wanted their two hours back." It also recently recieved a 100% rating at www.Rottentomateos.com

One thing I like about the trailer is the ancient war with some goddess, beast, monster and human. Hope it looks good on big screens.

got a ticket to tonight's premiere! looking forward to this. i hope it doesn't disappoint like ghost rider 

Even before its official release, parallels to the Iraq War have been seen, given that the film tells the story of a Western nation confronting a Middle Eastern one on the battlefield. The filmmakers assert that none were intended.

Snyder reports that after advance screenings, he was taken aside by a reporter at a screening for the international press who insisted that Xerxes had to be symbolizing George W. Bush, by taking a large, powerful army into a foreign country and confronting a small local guerrilla force to finish a war he believed his father had left unfinished. But at the Berlinale some viewers walked out, considering the film propaganda in support of possible U.S. military action against Iran (modern-day Persia) over the possibility of that country developing nuclear weapons. "Don't you think it's interesting that your film received funding at this point?" Snyder says he was asked there

18SX scene been cutted...but the head,leg flying is there to stay

huh.. never knew Malaysian translators are so advanced.. just from the title '300' they translated in into '300 Pahlawan Berani Mati'... maybe to add some more spice to the movie... anyhow, i've watch it last night and it a f**king great war movie... almost or maybe all the battle scenes are not cut, even if it is cut, i didn't notice anything... almost 2 hours fly by without me noticing... only the SX scene are gone, all of them... nevermind..... but i supposed it is compensated by the movie is not publicized in our media at all except for 8tv quickie.... Primeval got better publicity.....

i recalled the scene where leonidas stick his broken spear tip into the big-stupid-ugly-strong-goldberg wannabe and it is not cut but the scene in Troy where achilles threw a spear straight in to an archer eye right when he landed on the beach is gone... dunno wat happen with the cencorship board...

xerxer is gay.. that is why his choice of hookers is so damn bad that he select monster to be his sex slaves... really pity him.....

and, the movie really looks as a game as enemy comes in waves after waves only to be repelled by the spartans.... what is funny to me is the scene with the bomb-throwing-sorcerer-wannabe-idiots... just funny looking at them throwing their little bomb while the spartans use their shield to hide.. and i dont recalled to see almost any of the xerxes army using shields... even the immortals, well maybe cause they are supposed to be immortals.....

anyway, again what a great movie.... those movielover should get off their a**es now go watch the movie..... the RM10 is worth it

You guys didn't find the constant slow-mo fights all a tad similar and repetitive? 300 had more slow-mo than all 3 of The Matrix films combined. In fact if it were in real-time I bet the runtime would be only 1 hour.

Its fake. They wore body suits actually.

not enuf blood!!!!i wish to hav more blood!!!
n ancient wer got so many monster around (butcher with crab hand ...)

Actually, "because only spartan women gives birth to real men" has got to be one of the funniest and best comeback ive heard in ages.

this storyline is like malay film...predictable!!! it doesnt truly show the greatness of leonidas..not like gladiator...
but the effect .....superb!!! 

And what is your favourite quote from the movie?

Mine is 'Tonight, we dine in hell'!!

because its cheesy as hell

There're so many weird batalion from the Persian side.
