I saw this movie very recently, loved it. And i dont normally go for films like these!!

Gerry is a total hottie!

But a very stunning film, everything was amazing!
 
I just saw it today. And honestly...The only reason I really continued watching this movie was because of the visuals. So damn beautiful, despite of all the blood flowing. It's a masterpiece, in that aspect.
 
"Best movie ever" was probably an exaggeration on my part. But you know that feeling you get after you've seen a really good movie, and you can't help but just proclaim its greatness? Really loudly? That's what happened to me before. But once I talked about it to a few people, I was able to gather my thoughts and just coherently talk about it.

Frank Miller did a very good job of keeping a lot of historical accuracies in the story. I'm reading up on the Battle of Thermopylae, and so much of it was in the movie. I've never read the graphic novel, though I intend to soon, but I was reading that Miller took direct quotes from various accounts, including Herodotus, and I thought that was pretty cool. I also liked how he used real terms, like phalanx, hoplite, and hubris. I'm a literary nerd, so when I heard hubris, I got very excited. They also talked a lot about the honor of a Greek; in other words, gravitas. I thought that was very good, too.

I was the one who was saying from the time the trailer came out that I wanted to see the movie, and that it looked like it was going to be really good. All of my friends thought I was crazy. I'm glad I stuck with it for so long.

Also, LoTR was an amazing movie. It left me with that wow feeling, especially RotK. But it was a different kind of wow. LoTR left me with this .. really good feeling as a literary geek. 300 left me with a really good feeling of someone who's studied a lot of ancient Greek culture and writing. And my last wow movie, The Departed, left me with a good feeling of seeing another well done Scorsese film.

I just downloaded the soundtrack to 300. The music was very Sin City-esque. I don't know if it was the same composer or not, but I love the "To Victory" song, which is the title track. The songs will keep me entertained for a long time.

ETA: I just read this on wikipedia:


It makes me really happy that all of that was in the movie. I feel like such a nerd.

Saw it for the 2nd time on sunday, didn't lose anything. Will make it a 3rd if/when it hits the iMax here.
 
I don't think she saw the movie yet. I believe she was talking about the 300 second preview, right? :look:

I cannot wait to see this movie. It comes out here in the UK on the 23rd and I'll probably end up going that night (making sure I reserve seats first obviously). I'm a huge Gerard fan but even if he weren't in it I'd go see it anyway as it looks so amazing.
 
I don't usually go to see these types of movies but for Gerry, I will see it :)
He looks so badass and sexy.
 
Me too. :) I knew while I was watching it that I would go home and get it off of Itunes. :lol: I love the intesity of "The Hot Gates".

Sasha - Me too. I'm just a movie fan............I'm interested in all types of movies.

I'll probably se this one again this weekend.
 
I don't have a certain type of movie. I'm just a fan of good movies, period, and this was one of them. :)

^ yeah, i feared that the trailers running early, the postings on YouTube and Myspace etc would build my hype too much and end up ruining the movie for me, but I was like "wow, this was still pretty damn good".

I wouldn't call it the best movie ever, but Frank Miller impresses me. I loved Sin City and I loved 300. As with Sin City, I got a Wow reaction. Only LoTR gave me that feeling.
