300 is a graphic novel, written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colors by Lynn Varley. It depicts the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas, king of Sparta. The comic was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.

Every page of the comic was illustrated as a double-page spread. When the series was collected into hardcover form, the individual pages were twice as wide as a normal comic. Miller's art style for this project was similar to his Sin City work, although the addition of color is an obvious difference.

it is rumoured to have extreme nudity. both male and female.

wahahahha.

gerard butler is annoying, what with all that shouting and acting all 'macho'.

Lol, its ok what.
What do you expect a general gonna do?
Works his charm like Orlando Bloom?

2007 will see the comeback of several high budget movies and sequels (of course). in stead of those, i am most excited about 300 (no Halo isn't coming), the movie adaptation of Frank miller comic "300" which itself was inspired by the 1952 movie "300 men".
the story is about the 300 warriors of sparta who face off in the desperate battle of thermepillai against 1 million of the great persian army.
the look and the feel of this movie is awesome. they have blended cgi with live action to create some amazing backdrops. the music is eclectic and exciting. i just hope they keep the kind of music in the trailer in the movie, instead of normal orchestra which has been done to death.
looks like this is gonna be a movie with style and loads of attitude.
watch the trailer and form your own opinion. as far as i am concerned, screw spidey, 300 FTW!

is this real or fictional cause inside the trailer got monster

I just saw a movie that'll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It's called 300. I don't know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could've called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it'd still rule.

It's about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated **** out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.

The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it's sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, "I need some extra sauce packets" guess what? You're getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.

I can't spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN'T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that's hitting someone's balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.

TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE:

COOL THING ONE:
HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES

Who gives a **** if the music isn't historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could've used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel's Pretzel is telling you that you'll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.

COOL THING TWO:
FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS

Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There's wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he's got Rosie O'Donnell on his back.

Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.

NOT SO GOOD THING:
DUDE NUDITY ("DUDE-ITY")

These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they're serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.

Any directors reading this - IT'S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.

Can't someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?

My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I've seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.

Just read at CinemaOnline that "the movie has been passed under 18PL rating. The cuts are all for nude scenes only."

hope that not too much CGI effect or will spoil the show

He already show it in his avatar.

Jckk, no need to doubt. They only censored nudity scene. There is a logical reason. Wars are never a good thing, if the violence parts are censored, people will not see or feel the actual horror and suffering a war can bring to a country. By not cutting the violence in a war movie, you can feel it and hopefully will never ever want a war to happen here. But if the violence is for other reason like gangster fighting to show how powerful they are, then chances are it will be cut or minimized so it will not influence the young generation to FIGHT to show they are powerful.

EDIT: Must do movie gathering for this movie.

300 people who will fight to get their tickets against 100,000 Malaysian who wanna watch the film also..

i'm wit u dude 
so will there be 300 LYN-ers ready to fight? 

FOOORRR SSPPAAARRTTTAAA !!!

n every1 turns up wearing spartan armour.

Spartans don't wear armor for shitz, we're too strong
just a helm and a very large round shield.

really want to watch this movie but i got business trip to japan for few weeks..
how long teh movie will be in cinemas eh?

probably around 1 month...or mayb u can watch in japan

Persians wouldnt have a chance then.
And Ninja , we cant dress like that , some of us have 'excess skin' at our abdominal area.

LoL...

Any idea whether 300 will be released on 8th or 9th?

EDIT: I just checked cinemaonline.com.my. 300 will be released on 8th March. One day earlier than US release as usual. Hopefully, they have sneak preview shows on the 7th. Can't wait to watch this.
