The God-king has shrunk. =(

sigh

naw, doesn't look as good as the original.

"From the director of.." text is NEVER a good sign.. And it's coming out in.. March? Looks pretty finished to me.

*commercial

I still need to see 300 movie.

Adding video to channels (Commercial) - requested by ant.

You really don't.

Why not? Did it suck?

If you like way, way over the top special effects and extremely stylized cinematography, it most certainly didn't suck.
Not everyone's cup of tea though. It didn't really need a sequel.

There just isn't anything particularly interesting about it. It has the same over-stylization as Snyder's other films, combined with a few metric tons of historical inaccuracy and a few pinches right-wing jingoism.

Ah. I like those fighting type of movies like Gladiator.

A "fighting type of movie" is found in Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter... or anything by JCVD. Gladiator is not in this category. Unless you just ffwd to all the parts where someone was fighting?

MK1 movie wasn't bad.

Yeah!

The original 300 is way more visceral though. It's basically war-porn. It is pretty historically inaccurate, sometimes historically offensive, just like the comic book it's based on.

Also, it has about as much story as a boxing match.

Oh, well then you'll love the original 300!

The first one is based, nearly shot for shot, on a graphic novel by Frank Miller. Hence the comic book styling and super-natural element.

I wasn't expecting realisms from 300. I like action stuff.

WTF?!? Was that Twilight chick leading the Persian navy? Why would they be so historically inaccurate in order to install a horrid actress?

I saw this in GoT

UNNECESSARY SEQUEL, AHOY!

I loved 300 (was a fairly faithful adaption of the graphic novel, sans the nudity) for what it was, but this seems like unnecessary exploitation of the title.. =\

Thought the same thing, RE: burning water naval battle. haha.

Imagine a navel battle with Cersei Lannistars character, just pounding each others forces.

I wonder how much Nike paid for product placement in the scene where the messenger runs from Marathon to Athens and shouts "Sneakers!" while his hard, chiseled abs glint in the dim grey cloudy sunlight... then collapses in glory.

For folks saying that the 300 was historically inaccurate, our historical records for that 'event' come largely from Herodotus who, although is often called the first real historian, was pretty much about cool yarns in the first place. The whole Persian conflict reads like a very cool war novel and has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Artemisia I of Caria

A wind of vengeance. ahahaahaahaha
