i supose to some that is a personal flaw of mine that i cant get into overly graphic cartoons of violence.

300 (Film) - Wikipedia wrote:The filmmakers assert that any parallels to the current Iraq War that some in the media have implied were not intended. Indeed, Zack Snyder sees that comparison by some as a possible hindrance in the long run.[70] The studio and filmmakers had discussed the sensitive issue about the film's "contemporary resonance" of the East versus West conflict.[71]
Snyder reports that after advance screenings, he was taken aside by reporters at a screening for the international press, and asked about political implications by one reporter who insisted that Xerxes had to be symbolizing George W. Bush, only to have a second reporter suggest that Leonidas represented Bush. At a later showing at the Berlinale, Snyder says, he was asked, "Don’t you think it’s interesting that your movie was funded at this point?" Snyder clarifies, "The implication was that funding came from the U.S. government."

Saj wrote:Saw the movie on Friday. My opinion of it was that its not a good movie, but a very good action flick.
The fight scenes were really kool. and the graphics were really really good.
But it was a bland story altogether. thus not a good movie.
If you like action, the movies great, but if you want something Brave heart and Troy caliber, this movie isn't anywhere near.

I would have hoped the trailer made that clear.

Dude.
Saj wrote:actually it was 1,000,000. and yea, it was bland. its not like troy where theres really good fight scenes and a really good story along with them. it was a plain story...
300 spartans go to fight 1,000,000 persians.... theres the story.

I understand that even the blood was CGIed in and that overall it was generally
directed to the Gamer set,thus the look.
The truth was that the battle was merely a holding action in order for the Athenian
and other allied Greek troops to prepare for the ultimate battle of the war against the Persians.And the Greeks eventually won not on land but on sea.
I believe that this is the war where Xerxes famously had the sea flogged after it destroyed his boat bridge.
Spartan factoid:They always did their hair before going into battle when Persian
scouts saw this they were astonished.

Frank Miller can draw, but he hasen't been able to write since 1989. It was a hollow movie with no power or emotion, and used a bunch of gimmicks to make up for it.
