Sorry about that. If you want to read what I originally posted, see reconseed's post #14. He quoted my full first post, there. I was half awake this morning when I hacked up my original post.
 
Whoops. Sorry about the post, forgot about the childern on the forum. I need to go review the rules, I haven't looked at them since I joined.
Wow, my first "infraction" in 9 years. :(
If anyone wants to see the review, drop me an email, I'll send you the link to it. Besides the profanity, it was pretty funny.
Once again, sorry. :(

You guys weren't kidding, that was incredible! Well worth the price of admission, which I can't often say after seeing a movie lately.
 
GO WATCH IT! Watched it yesterday here in my country with the guys after training. If we felt like a "fighting force" before watching it, heck, we were positively feeling Spartan afterwards!

Oh yeah, just my honest but blunt opinion: best watched when you leave pseudo-intellectual/historical nit-picking and political-parallelism BS outside the theater.
 
and it was an enjoyable film, too. Yep, the gore was expectedly over-the-top and war and battle were ridiculously romanticized; then again, the Greeks are known for doing so, anyways.
 
A good movie with plenty of action. Some annoying historical inaccuracies, and a fantastic (ridiculous) exaggeration of the historical figures; but, since most of today's audience is completely ignorant of their own cultural history, it is perhaps the best way to present the story. :rolleyes:

Historical Footnotes: The Spartans wore plenty of armor.

There were no horses, elephant, rhinos, or trolls. The Oracle at Delphi were not sex slaves for a colony of deprived lepers. The Greeks would have fought in a phalanx for as long as their units remained intact. Xeres was not a nine foot tall devil spawn - and never even played one on TV.
 
@torzjohnson

thanks, but i like it here in belgium: good people, good beer, no fundamentalists (islamic or christian), only a little bit too politically correct (for my taste).

oh yeah and i have to wait until the 21 of march to see "300", what really sucks. ;)
