diappointed with "300"

[scriptfactory]

i thought that too lol..
i wonder how much exp that rhino was worth..

You mean points. 300 wasn't deep enough to be an RPG. More like an action/side-scroller... Did you see the "making of"? I almost thought I heard that music from Mario Brothers while watching it.

ROFL
yes points MY BAD.. it had to be atleast a bigg enuff jump to get u close to a 1up

well I thought that 300 was suppose to be like a reprentation or had something to do with a comic thing. Thats why they were able to do the animal thing. I enjoyed 300 a lot.

My list. However this is a very close one. I liked them all quite a lot.
Gladiator
Troy
300

Like goodcents said, 300 was an exaggeratiton of reality. It was mythology. The story of the battle is being told by that soldier, who lost his eye, to the roman army before they fight the persian army. That's why he's narrating through out the movie.

I thought it was unrealistic too when I saw the giant elephents and that fat guy with sword hands. Then at the end you see that guy telling the story to hype up the roman soldiers. Then it made sense to me.

They were Greeks, this was before the Roman empire. It was based off of a comic book so of course it would be unrealistic and I went to the movie expecting some crazy story. Still, it was REALLY unrealistic.

I want to know what they ate?! All I saw was Leonidas eating an apple.

The blood of their enemies, of course. Duh! Gawd...

I didn't see them go to the bathroom either, did you want them to include that in the movie too

[Psychotron]

I liked it until they threw in the mutants and creatures that looked like rejects from some sci-fi- movie. I think they could have kept it realistic in that sense and made it better.

*sigh* it's based off a graphic novel aka comic book.

[RA]

Troy
300
Gladiator

is how I would rate em. Troy fn rocks.

[RA]

I thought what was cool is a bunch of the lines were real.

ya I meen Frank Miller kept the idea and story overall intact but he did what he wanted with the characters because it was a comic book.

"Hes the biggest man Ive ever seen...I wouldnt want to fight him"

"Thats why no one will remember your name"

[Giants11]

If you like the premise of 300 but want a story line. I HIGHLY reccomend reading the book "Gates of Fire" which is a fictional account of the Battle at Thermopylae but it is fvcking bad ass!!!!

George Clooney bought the rights to the movie a long time ago but nothing has been done since. It would be FAR superior to 300 by a long shot.

HELL YES! Awesome quote. Troy was fvcking badass. But I cant believe you (and some others) ranked 300 above Gladiator!! How is that possible!!??

[3bd]

If you were disapointed with 300 then perhaps you'd like the Mexican 300...

For anyone who hasnt seen Troy... check out the opening fight scene. Just the opening alone OWNS 300!!

god i effin cringe EVERY TIME I SEE THAT SHIT.. and i kant do shrugs for weeks ><

[39+1]

I was disapponted too I was looking for another gladiator so after during a little research i found out the director was a comic book guy and he was trying to capture the the mythical points of the characters. such as the immortals. they werent immortal there were just so many of them the for evry one killed three took it place. so try to watch it from that angle

[novastepp]

love 300, love troy, love gladiator. who gives a shit if its real? its entertainment.

[goodcents]

Seems funny when the movie came out and we had a thread about it everyone loved it and now most people seem to hate it

[novastepp]

plus the whole idea behind 300 is that it is the sole survivor's story. he told it to rally all the soldiers to defeat the persians. its his account, so he made it amazing so he could rally the 40,000 people.

i never said a single good thing about it.. lol i thought it suckd then as it does now LOL

[Hoggage_54]

300 was OK, nothing special though... I remember everyone on here raving about it when it was first in theaters and I was looking forward to renting it when it came out on DVD, but I wasn't really impressed at all when I did see it.

[Hoggage_54]

Although "This is Spartaaaa" was a good scene

[Timm1704]

have to agree, i thought 300 was an ok effort, wouldnt watch it again though. havent seen troy, so cannot comment. However, gladiator, braveheart and saving private ryan (eh?) are the greatest war/battle films ever made

[Stock]

*sigh* it's based off a graphic novel aka comic book.

Maybe that is why it seemed like a cartoon to me...I thought it was good, but it did play like comic book.

My order
Gladiator
Troy
300

[crazyhorse666]

I lov them all. They get me all fired up!
