MTV's exclusive 300 seconds of the movie 300.

Do not watch it if you don't want any war giant spoilers.

And again, this movie is not supposed to be an accurate historical recreation of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.. It is instead a somewhat fanciful interpretation of Frank Miller's graphic novel based on that battle. Do not look for realism here, as it is not intended as such.

awesomeness.

 

[Joker]

I stopped about halfway through.

This deserves to be seen on the big screen.

 

[Wombat]

Thanks for the preview!

Now I know another movie to avoid...

Yeah, I know, it's based on the graphic novel, not the history, but this looks worse than 1950s version.

 

[Meloncov]

That just about killed my anticipation for the movie. The battles looked like video game cuts, not brutal combat.

 

[Pseudonym]

Meh.

I'm going to see it in IMAX.

 

[Mark]

I'm going to see it in IMAX.

I do not see how I could avoid seeing in just that way.

Looks cool. Definitely a mythical telling of the Battle of Thermopylae. Makes for a good fantasy movie, but definitely not a historical epic. Should be fun to watch.

I found a copy of "300" in the local B&N, and looked through it... looks like the movie copied some of the costumes and scenes pretty closely...

yeah, definitely not high on historical accuracy... might be fun to watch though...

but I'll never forgive them for having a war rhino....

What is wrong with a war rhino? I like war rhinos.
