    Aye, probably. The plot amounts to this: The Persians are trying to invade. They have a gay king who's 8 feet tall. The Glaswegian Spartan guy isnae having it. Fight ensues.

    Good film.

    It is mainly a gay porn movie so you can join in at any point and you'll probably enjoy it

    Be aware however.........it's not historically accurate. :lol:


    Some of these assholes hold that against movies like this for some reason.


    ........and sure it's homo-erotic..........but what straight man doesn't enjoy a greased up Gladiator fight, every now and then.:bears:

    You will miss the most memorable, most often quoted line of the film, "THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!!!!"
    plus the only sex scene of the film that is worth something and the 'oracle' scene...which was creepy.

    Don't waste your time with this movie. Sure the abs are nice to look at but other than that the movie is a historically inaccurate cock teasing piece of garbage. The Spartans are actually clothed here not running around nude like they did in reality. And that hunched over freaky looking thing, in the movie they say he wasn't allowed to fight because of his hunch which would ruin the formation or some bullshit like that but if you do your research like I did they actually turned him down and kicked him off the team because he said "So guys..after we kick their asses...how about we go get some women!"

    True. It's the same reason I hate "Star Wars" and "Lord Of The Rings".

    Historically inaccurate!

    In real life Luke Skywalker was actually Darth Vader's nephew (not his son), and Frodo Baggins was an unrepentant narcissist who sold his traveling mates into slavery, because he thought they were getting too much credit from Gandalf. :nono:

    Are you insecure with your manhood LOK? Despite the homo-erotic overtones and 6 pack abs, it's a hardcore straight guy action movie.

    Tons of blood, violence, double-crossing, female nudity, the graphic killing of freaks with various genetic handicaps recruited into gangs that made them feel like the family they never had, cursing the gods, kicking black men into deep wells..........I mean really deep wells..........you know, they must have a problem with horrific droughts to have to build a well that wide and that deep........probably should build a fence around that well, because it's certainly a safety hazard for the rest of the population, even if your NOT a villainous black man from another land, simply passing on information as any normal messenger would. :nono:

    It might be historically inaccurate, but it has prompted more research and google searches for "Sparta", "Battle of Thermopylae", "300 spartans" and "King Leonidas" than any history class or History Channel documentary might have ever inspired. This is an asskicking action film with plenty of replay value. A classic even though not a masterpiece.

    300 is a fucking awesome action movie if you take it for what it is, its not historically accurate nor does it try to be. But from a stylized film standpoint, its a real looker.

    The film is an extremely faithful adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel "300" which never pretended to be historically accurate. It was because of this that Snyder was selected to be at helm of WATCHMEN, another faithful adaptation of a graphic novel.

    I enjoyed Watchmen too. The Spirit was rubbish though.

    WATCHMEN is one of the best superhero movies ever made because it is so different from your average superhero movie. Its R rating didn't help it at the box office, though. I love both films, but they are very different animals.
