workingcinderellaman Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 QUOTE (KenJennings @ Dec 5 2007, 03:22 PM) The story was historicall flawed, and barely watchable. What do you mean? That giant guy really existed. (didn't he?) And the rhinoceros and the hunchback dude and the creepy looking immortals? I really liked the movie, but the comic book thing was a bit different. I guess you either like it or hate it. I liked it better the second time I watched it. Try watching it again ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2112 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 This was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Absolutely loved it. I'm not going to say it's the best of 2007, because I haven't seen The Golden Compass yet, but it's up there. And in terms of it not being Historically accurate, thats the worst statement i've heard of 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the movie, but the comic book thing was a bit different. I guess you either like it or hate it. I liked it better the second time I watched it. Try watching it again ken. well, there was a guy who betrayed the greeks and went and told Xerxes about that secret path, and the immortals were real. but they were named that because when one immortal died, two more stepped in to take his place. I'm not so sure about the other things, but I think it was more of the Greek Mythology type of stuff, and the whole movie was told by that guy who Leonidas sends back, so that gave the directors a reason to make it slightly innaccurate. the only thing I didn't like about it was the first battle, when Leonidas is running through the persians and it would go into slo-mo, and speed up when he wasn't attacking. it was cool if they would've cut back on it, but they over did it. but I agree, one of the best, if not the best, movie of 2007.

Archangel717 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 actually this movie is surprisingly accurate. the wall they built in the movie was real, and they blonde guy who loses his eye and leonidas sends home was real. there were two spartans who got a bad eye desease and where sent home at the beggining of the third day.

-D-RocK- Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I liked how the Spartans were all perfect human specimans with sculpted bodies, six-pack abs and the works. Meanwhile the Persians (Iranians) were portrayed as hideous Orc-like mutants. Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I pose this question to anyone complaining that it's not historically accurate: Do you really want to see that much gay sex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalorian Hunter Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Another inaccuracy. Since when did Greeks have Scottish accents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Any film that contains the line "It's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare" is an out and out instant classic in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticklah Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ugh. Definitley Fun to watch but no where near what the hype said it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Death Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just saw this a few weeks ago, really, really good movie. I'll be buying this one. And come on KJ, I'll let the "historically inaccurate" thing slide, because obviously you didn't know it was based on a graphic novel and not really the historical event... but bloodfest? Give me a break. Yeah, the movie was gory, but it was no slasher film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
