Local archaeologist Elena Froussou watched "300" and couldn't help being impressed.

"The movie was great spectacle," said Froussou. "There were many inaccuracies, but the movie (generally) does base itself on reality."

Now thats how more archaeologists should be! anything that generates positive interest in their topic, they should like!

:shocked:

:D


So, you're into gay porn huh?

Nah. Just having a little fun with your quote, don't take it personal.

I thought the movie was overrated. The art direction and style was great, but overall, I wasn't too impressed.

PSA: Its closely based on a graphic novel thats loosely based on a story thats based on history.

If it was called 400 and took place in a different time period, i bet reviews would sky rocket because they couldn't say "it's not historically accurate"

I thought it was wrong how they started off 300. I can almost bet a lot of parents complained about this.

Complained about one of the few historically accurate parts? Why would they complain anyway, are they retarded enough to bring their 6 year old to an R movie that boasts how violent it is? Please. :confused:

Thats not even what I am talking about. I am not talking about anyone bring a 6 year old to this movie either.

It was still wrong for how it begun. Not talking about it not being historically.

i too am confused. I thought it was the best way to intro the movie, because it explains how hellbent they were on being the perfect military-state.

:thumbsdown: at you and your comment. People like you are the reason art and culture are nonexistent in the US today. EVERYTHING doesn't have to be P.C., especially something so vital to the plot and historically accurate. Btw, I am half-Greek. :)

He's talking about some of the scenes where boobies are shown. OH NO!

Come on now. The movie obviously shows a lot of blood and gore. And he's worried about a 6 year old seeing some bare chested girls? Why is a 6 year old being brought to such a movie in the first place? :confused:

Ok I am not talking about boobies either and a 6 year old child should never be brought to this movie. I agree with that.

good movie. funny how the critics have no idea what people like anymore.

I would really like to find review of movies that have stood the test of time. You know classic movies we all love. I want to read reviews that completely knocked the movie. I am sure some critics everyone know will have some horrible picks on movies. One good example would be Shawshank. That movie was hated by critics and tanked in the box office and today it is one of the most beloved movies of all time.

QFT. It kind of depends on the reviewer too because they don't always agree with each other. However, some just seem to nitpick things to death and can't get by their own judgemental selves to see the movie for the entertainment value that it may (or may not) be.

Once again, you fail to state anything about WHY you feel that way. Give a specific reason or its obvious you're neffing.

I think he's talking about throwing the babies into the bad baby pile for them to die.

Why don't you just say what you are talking about? Or you can just continue to be a vague horse's ass that annoys everyone...
