It was a friday night. Just ended a shitty week of work. I walked into the theaters, wanting a movie with lots of blood, gore and heroics of the past only heard of from midvwives.
Glad to say, I got what i wanted. And more. =) I was fearing that this movie would suffer from being overhyped, so i only walked in wishing to be entertained, and entertain it did. |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Mar 12 2007, 03:58 PM) There werent any jokes at all... lest you count that stupid scene where every councilman yell 'traitor!'. 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. |

QUOTE(BurgaFlippinMan @ Mar 14 2007, 09:17 AM) its supposed to be an empty but fun weekend watch, in that it succeeds. however its nothing to go gaga about. if tihs was a cookie, it would be a big hollow cookie with lots and lots of chocolate chips on it.... This movie is to males what chocalate is to women. A winner.Sure its a brainless flick, but i strongly suspect that being intelligent wasnt the purpose of this film at all. It was meant to entertain, and entertain it did. Every once in a while, we need a film just like this. This post has been edited by GhettoSuperstar: Mar 14 2007, 11:29 AM |

QUOTE(darun @ Mar 19 2007, 10:31 AM) Aiya.. the scene is necessary, so was the licking, it was meant to show that the ephos were a corrupted lot that desired sex and money... and also meant to disgust leonidis.. imagine if the oracle was an old wise lady like in the matrix talking to leonidis and convincing him not to fight, then we got no movie to see liao. I'm not sure im following you here. Whats wrong with the oracle in The Matrix? Why would a old woman in the place of a young half naked girl make it "...then we got no movie to see liao" ? The films where you expect to see young naked girls are called porn. Never said that the scene was unnecessary tho. I said it was disturbing. The same way Leonidas found it disturbing. Im just surprised at the approval of a lot of the posters here, and how some make it out to be the highlight of the show. Maybe i shouldnt be surprised. Pre-adolescent with raging hormones and all that. |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Mar 19 2007, 07:02 PM) You dont get what he means. Wat he wants to say is: Point taken If the oracle in 300 had been the one from The Matrix, she would have actually looked wise and knowledgeable (which is not what the film wants to portray her as), and Leonidas might have believed in her after all and not go into battle. They chose a young, hot, naked girl surrounded by dirty priests to portray a society overly reliant upon those so-called 'priests'. They were shown to be corrupt, sex-crazy fiends. Leonidas knew they were full of shit and this was why he insisted on going into battle.  |
