"300" Spartan Movie

I dont think i like some of the more mythical scenes.. .when it comes to history i like it as accurate as possible.

but by god i'll be right at the front of the line to go and see it!

Just for a reality check, remember that it is based on a comic book. So I think we can throw out any notions of realism right up front and just enjoy the ride

thats true enough, i just am longing for a good portrayal of the stand of thermopylae! There hasnt been one since the 300 spartans, but i reckon this is a pretty good step in the right direction!

It'll have to work hard to replace The 300 Spartans in my heart.

I agree with some comments here, although the story is really good and the movie does look pretty cool, since its based on a comic and less on historical fact, it's a little less appealing to me, but it still looks cool none the less.

I have the original DVD version that's linked above (not a bad movie). I saw the trailer for this latest edition when I went to see, The Last King of Scotland (great movie, incidentally). I think I'll check it out, though I most likely would enjoy the movie more without the fantasy theme and magical spells etc.
