What about you guys?

I generally don't like these kinds of movies (I'm more into futuristic sci-fi/thrillers), but this looks pretty good. I'm probably going to go see it when it comes out.

I've been waiting for this forever, I love this time period.

This movie is simply the greatest movie I have ever seen. I liked it a lot more than Lord of the Rings--and Lord of the Rings (ROTK) was my favorite movie until now. This movie has all of the good things. It's very graphic--don't go with someone queasy, as it will spoil the experience. I went to what I thought was an obscure theater that turned out to be magnificent. Soft, reclining chairs are the way to go.

About the movie itself: It has really good acting. It's got a bit of nudity (I don't remember any in the graphic novel.. go figure). And it's got the BEST visuals I have EVER seen. First of all: real visuals. Every single male cast member that was in the 300 men of Sparta is insanely cut. They are literally brimming with muscles. It's the kind of stuff that makes other men go "Holy shit." And then there are the absolutely stunning graphics. The way the blood shoots out of people; the way the spears react with the environment and the flesh of the people they're going through; the way the scenery is. I have never, prior to watching this movie, thought I would have encountered such a beautiful use of graphics. LOTR was good, there's no doubt about it. This blows the shit out of LOTR. The battles of Pelennor and Minas Tirith? Nothing in comparison to even half a scene of action in this movie.

I really strongly recommend anyone with a bloodlust for the one good movie Hollywood will release in the next decade to go see 300 as soon as possible. Try and see it in Imax. I was supposed to go to an Imax theater and watch it but I couldn't because it was sold out and I encountered major traffic. Even in the right regular theater it's still damn fine. The audio is perfect to match the visuals (that were shot in front of blue/green screens for the most part).

I just watched it, and I liked it a lot. It was stunning. I noticed a few things tha I was thinking about after the movie, but nothing more than the usuall things. One thing I thought was "Where did they get the food from?" I mean, the only food shown is an apple. It's not a problem, but it's just an odd thought. Any way, I loved it.

Yeah, it was freaking awesome. I saw it with my friends in an IMAX threatre.

The apple scene was a bit odd, but it's not hard to imagine that some soldiers would be carrying provisions with them that they haven't eaten.

I was gonna see it in IMAX. :( Spiderman 3 I will most definitely see in IMAX with friends, though. And it's the week or so after my SAT Subject Tests, so that'll be sweet.

The apple scene was alright. It (in my opinion) was just trying to show the persians that he was jaded enough at death that he could stomache food. But, like I was thinking, it's just some scenes that are lacking in every film. (Like, how did they keep getting more spears?) It's nothing much to worry about, but it was cool none the less.

I sort of wonder if this film had any scenes that were deleted, or edited out for time that would make some more things connect. (e.g. food, spears, etc.) I can't wait to buy this movie. It'll rock++ even more! :D

Why didn't you end up seeing it in IMAX? I will hopefully go again with friends to see Spiderman 3 in IMAX, too. It looks good.

Yeah, I never thought of it like that. I'm pretty sure that scene wasn't in the Frank Miller graphic novel, but it's been a while since I've read it. That sounds like a very logical explanation, though.
Also, you *can* reuse spears, and many of the people they killed were carrying spears that they never got a chance to use because Leonidas and his men killed them too quickly.

Yeah, there were definitely scenes left out. Some of it flowed very well together, other parts didn't.

That's what I passed it off as. But, like in that scene where they are getting the Persians a "drink," Leonidas' sword is out, then he has a spear in the next scene. Also, I was thinking about if they killed the people via throwing it, and they fell off the edge, or something.
But yeah.

It was a good movie.. but I don't know if it's worth seeing twice in a normal theater. The theater I went to (juts to reiterate :P) had speakers on very loud. Every time the armies marched you could FEEL the bass vibrate the theater. It was freaking awesome, but it kinda makes your head hurt. Also, the video was.. all right. Good audio definitely helped, though. Either see it in IMAX or save your money, IMO. (obviously it's redundant to say this since you've already left.. but I felt like responding).
