300.

[Emmzee]

SEE IT OR DIE. This movie fucking kicks so much ass. Except for Transformers, and Spider-Man 3, this is THE movie to see in 2007. Seriously, anyone else seen it?
EDIT: Holy shit 666 posts!

[Hotrod]

Ya, i heard that it was good. It looks really cool. But I also heard that it was very long, how long was it?

[Btd69]

It's not out on my little place where people aren't supposed to get it yet :(

washington post review:


Editorial Review
"300," the new cartoonified version of the hard day's work on the coast of Greece where 300 Spartans stood against a much larger horde of Persians, fails to offer any theories of Spartan greatness. "300," alas and to its shame, makes no arguments at all; it's entirely an overblown visual document with an IQ in the lower 20s.

We get a Spartan culture that seems notable primarily for one thing: the invention of the ab machine. You never saw so many six-packs in one place outside a Budweiser warehouse! So the movie isn't set in history or in time but in some dank feverish swamp of the imagination that betrays its comic book origins (by "Sin City's" Frank Miller). Some of this finds its causation in the technical: Like Robert Rodriguez's version of that earlier Miller work, the movie is one of those computer-painted jobs, in which real men do real stuff in a big blue room and then digital artists invent a world around them that can be manipulated, tweaked and turned to infinite perversity.

The action is all showy and stylized, never quite realistic. Director Zack Snyder hasn't a gift for kinetic action, and the battle choreography is stilted. He overdoes the slow motion until it becomes comic, and the whole package aestheticizes violence, leaching its meaning, distancing us.

Anyway, the film begins with -- and ends with, and uses pretty much as a one-man band -- Leonidas, the king, played by brawny Scotsman Gerard Butler, who has enough charisma to bring it off. Quickly enough, Snyder gets us to the action. Countless Persians land on a Greek beach, but the only way to the heartland is through a narrow pass. Only 300 Persians at a time are able to try the Spartan line, so we get war as Ohio State football: three yards and a cloud of blood.

It's kind of a ghastly hoot, and while I suppose it does no harm, it also contributes nothing. It's a guilty unpleasantness.

EDIT: dang, they edited out the part where the guy remarks something about the spartans being gay, their revealing clothes, all the gleaming sweat on their muscles and.... ew

[Cortexian]

I saw it, it fu*&ing owns. I agree, definatly going to one of the best movies of 07, along with Wild Hogs, and Transformers when it comes out.

"Immortals, we put their name to the test".
"SPARTANS! What is your profession!?".

Awesome quotes in that movie.

Isn't it 117 minutes? Which is rather typical. It's under two hours.

[Varmint260]

117 minutes? NO WAI DEWD!

I heard it's one of those movies with a lot of blood, gore, guts, testosterone poisoning and no storyline...

What am I saying? SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!1

[quiksilver2k1]

seen it twice so far, it's good

one of the top movies of the year? no

Movie critics should sit with their backs to the films and just gauge the audience's reaction, 'cause that guy was way off the mark for 99% of everyone in the theater when I watched it.

[rossmum]

They make subjective reviews (I think I got the right one there), which means that they basically tell you their opinion. Not everyone's opinion is the same. Simple.

[Limited]

300 looks pretty good. yet I want to see

Ghost Rider and hot fuzz first :D

[Pooky]

I saw the trailer and it was just a bunch of clips of sweaty men screaming. Pass.

[Teroh]

Must See.

[WhÎþLå§h ÐÆmØÑ]

I thought you liked that kind of the Fried. ;)


Me and my friend saw the movie today. It was one of the best movies we've ever seen. And it had more decapitations than all other movies that did put together.

I like feminine guys, those freaks must have steroids for breakfast lunch dinner and BRUNCH.

What do you expect (ancient, guys with spears and rocks) warriors to be? http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2703/gaynl4.gif

:gonk:

[n00b1n8R]

seen it twice so far, it's good

one of the top movies of the year? no

can somebody explain the reasoning to see a movie several times at the cinemas?

idgi.

[rossmum]

Because it was so good that it takes more than one viewing to actually get the full experience?

Reminds me... I need to get Casino Royale on DVD.

[Limited]

idgi.
Why do you listen to music more than once? Same reason, its a cool movie, you wana see that shit again :D:D

no real explaination for it. some movies arent really watchable lots of times, mainly ones without action and stuff, LOTR had LOADS of action, people watched that stuff like 10 times in cinema..

That's why ancient warriors suck.

[DaBillyBob]

I saw it, loved it, definately going to add it to my dvd collection when available.

[El Lobo]

I think we can all agree Friedmetroid likes to take it in the back door.

:lobo:

^ Uh Ghost wtf

[Pred1ator]

[Champ]

You obviously don't know what a good movie is then.


Also, neither Transformers nor Spider-man 3 are on my "must see" list.


EDIT: FriedMetroid just stop posting, no one cares about your feminine guy fetish.

[Agamemnon]

lol America
More like lol irony. The only thing American about the movie is the director.

[Corgy]

...

OK.

[Champ]

It's because they're not feminine, Corgy.

Except this movie has nothing to do with Marvel as in no creative control.:lol:

[Pooky]

It's because they're not feminine, Corgy.

No it's because they can't fit through standard sized doors and they have shrunken balls.

[mech]

It's because you pulled a fucking Peewee Herman, but you jacked off in the movie theatre, to the 300 faggot >:U

ur gay pooky

I' guessing your location has something to do with your face having an erected penis shoved into it.

Im speaking about transformers and spiderman 3 that he spoke about...

also pooky, why the fuck do YOU care about the state of their balls? eh?

[CN3089]

FriedMetroid prefers men with large balls.

[Dole]

Wasn't long at all. It was 117 mins. Indeed, though, this movie kicked ass.
When the Persians charge the Spartans for the first time, you feel like you're really behind the shields with them pushing back the tide.

@ MZ: Transformers will be a must see movie? O_o

As long as it isnt like LOTR the last one, you think its over then find out theres like 30 mins still left of the movie, sure it was actiony but it was still dragged out lol.

Also, I'm not really a comic book fan, I'd only see transformers if thers nothing else to watch, if your an avid comic book fan I can bet its very appealing..

Also therse a fantastic four 2 coming out. They introduce that new bad guy that travels around the galaxies and stuff

[Emmzee]

also pooky, why the fuck do YOU care about the state of their balls? eh?
Because he's a homothexual.

You mean the Silver Surfer, that if you read the comics or at least the Wikipedia entry, you would know isn't a bad guy?

Nope, Marvel tries to have some consistency in characters.

I'm sure they can fit just fine, and I wouldn't know about their ball size...I'm not into that kind of thing.

My brother saw it, and he says it was great.

[Master Chief]

would love to see it, but my folks went to see it, and said it was too mature for me. WTF!! im 15 and can understand the male erotic that is violence and female nudity!
