Rate 300

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I've heard it all now.

Gladiator was mediocre and it was a joke that it won best picture.

7.

Needed to get rid of some stuff and be shorter and more compact. The movie had epic written all over it, not nonsense drama that doesn't effect the plot anyway.

QFT. 300 was mediocre as well; An entertaining popcorn flick that is good for 2+ hours of diversion but ultimately a forgettable film.

I won't be forget it...going to see the IMAX verison...hopefully. And seeing it, a second time.

10 from me.

I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 for one reason: I didn't like all the rock music they stuffed in. I mean, would you have Metallica roaring in the background of Saving Private Ryan? Would you set the stage for Bladerunner's dystopian future with 18th century harpsichord? If you answered yes to either, please don't become movie directors.

Other than that, it was everything I could have wanted. The spartans were using the right kind of sword, for Hermes' sake! Etc. etc.

Funny enough, I saw the movie 6 months ago, and then on opening night. The only real difference I could detect between the two versions was that they added the rock music and took out some of the classical music.

Wow this is funny. 10% of people thought this film was less than a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, yet roughly 25% or more of the posts are negative. I think that ratio is actually present in a lot of threads lately Sometimes a negative minority of people can shout loudly...

I won't spoil the movie hopefully for anyone but...

Is there anything they don't do FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I could easily imagine them going behind a tree to pee FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

or washing their clothes in a nearby river FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

or taking the dog for a walk FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

You get the picture.

The horribly anachonistic view of Greeks as one people is another huge problem. And since when did the ancient peoples care about freedom? Concepts such as nationalism and universal freedom did not exist until well after the Renaissance.

Cuz I would rate Braveheart and Gladiator 10's and this movie reminded me of those.

Braveheart and Gladiator. Ouch. I am definitely seeing 300 as cheap as possible.

I did not like Braveheart. Rob Roy came out at the same time as Braveheart. I prefer Rob Roy.

Gladiator is not a movie that is shooting for a surprise ending. Heck, the title says it all: The main character is there solely to entertain the audience and die doing so.

And how does that makes it a memorable film? I think you are correct. We are talking about the movie as if it was just another gladiator....how much it slew at the box office...how great the gladiator was (best actor) and how great it was when it was in the arena (best picture)...we aren't talking about the journey (the script.)

I think this sums up Gladiator though it was about 300

I just got finished watching Beowulf and Grendel last night. Now that was fun.

It's the Internet, baby: 80% porn, 20% bitching.

I gave it a 7 and that was generous. It was entertaining but they dragged a short tale out way too long.
