 Easily the craziest looking movie i've seen in a long time, however its just about crazy enough to work.

OMG, that is just a total corruption of history. Almost as a rule you need to sacrifice historical realism to achieve entertainment value, so this film should be very entertaining if nothing else.

And for Christ's sake, a rhinoceros?!?!?!

 I think there's some merit to that, it isnt trying to be a truly accurate protrayal, it just seems to be an intensely action-packed bloodfest, which is cool with me, it's the movies that pass themselves off as being all fact when they are anything but that bug me.

 Looks absolutely mental, which should absorb a boring lazy Sunday afternoon sometime soon LOL

Isn't this based on Frank Millers comic?  I haven't seen that yet, but this looks pretty nice.  I don't care if its butchering history, as long as they have a killer rhino in it. 

Kilroy was here.

But alot of the times movies do an they fall short, but i have a good feeling about this..

Apparently they want to make a Kratos:lord of war movie aswell..

I don't consider "300" a historical film, more like an adaptation of a comic series loosely based on a historic event.
And I think it will be great.

You took it out of my mouth!... Sin City comes close to it, a movie that I didn't particularly enjoy but it was interesting nonetheless.

I just watched Sin CIty last weekend for the first time, and that was the first time I fell in Love with Frank Miller's work. Now I am seeing a period of history which to me is extremely fascinating..plus Frank Miller's artistic style and vision come into play too! This will be f**king awsome!

Yeah, I saw the trailer on tv here the day before yesterday and it was pretty amazing. I do like the part where a man says:

"You are in Sparta!" and pushes another down a long long shaft (or well)... if it is the same trailer.

And killer rhinoceroses, fine with me until I don't have to face one.

If its the one where Xerxes looks like a "punkrocker", it will be garbage.
