Deserves a new topic for the release IMO. You whores better go see this movie because it is the most awesome thing ever. Fight scenes are some of the best I've ever seen and the makeup, gore, and blood effects are awesome too. The movie is basically epic in every way shape and form, I can't say how well it follows the comic since I havn't read it or how historically accurate it is (does that even matter?).

Despite the homophobes who don't want to see the movie cause of all the speedo wearing guys there are a few breasts and sex scenes. Really makes the Persians look like freaky fetish loving slavery endorsing fanatics and the Spartans the badass democracy loving apple pie eating good guys. Probably the best movie experiance I've had since Episode III came out.

I'm going to see it either today or tomorrow. I'm not going to miss out on this one.

where the wasnt killing there was softcore porn.

9.8 / 10

Is there a rape scene? If so, we might be able to persuade Kuya to see this movie.

I think this is the movie where the entire shooting was done indoors with CGI rendered settings. Man they've come along way

They did that a few years back with Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, too.

And with Sin City.

The only thing that really bugs me about the movie is the CGI blood. When you actually watch it spray around and eventually disappear, and the characters aren't soaked in the stuff, it just sort of loses something. They should've gone Kill Bill with the stuff.

Otherwise, it was just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

Jesus, even I noticed that it was meant to look like that.

Man, I've noticed people giving this movie shitty reviews left and right, and it's almost always for stupid reasons. Yeah, it's a gory movie. Yeah, it disregards the trivial differences between the way the Persians and the Greeks treated their slaves, etc.

But damn, it was a great movie and a great adaptation of the graphic novel based upon one of the greatest military battles of all time.


I've seen reviews claiming it lacked a sensible plot. It. Lacked. A. Sensible. Plot.

Because it's not like ~2000 Greeks didn't stand against ~100,000 Persians in reality. No. That didn't fucking happen. Let's ignore HISTORY and say that the plot doesn't make sense.



This might take the cake though, "The blood looked cheesy." Oh, fucking nice. You dumb shit you bought a ticket to another Frank Miller movie and expected it to be hyper-realistic. I'm glad you learned nothing from Sin City.


Edit from the next day: Wow I can be spiteful and angry when I get home from watching a genuinely uninteresting movie (Wild Hogs.) I was a little harsh on SoD, for which I apologize. Nevertheless, I think it's a silly thing to point out the CGI blood, when he should have known he was getting a ticket to another Frank Miller movie.

I havent seen it, but from what i've heard/read Miller said that instead of people making fictional events historic (eg: Gladiator) he wanted to do the oppersite and make historic events (ie: Spartan defence of Thermopylae) into a mythological tale, hence ninja Spartans and ogres and shit.

In that context quibbles about being ridiculous become nonsensible. But i'm looking forwards to a good brain-off sword-movie.

No, no, don't make that any more obvious. SoD hasn't mentioned yet how stupid it was that none of the Spartan hoplites wore armor.

Yeah this movie has to be one of the best in recent memory. The action scenes were probably some of the best if not the best i have ever seen and the gore was so well done it was like a work of art. There were some good looking girls in this movie to so overall 300=WIN

That's OK, because I'll reply in kind, as is our way here at Raven's Haven. Ahem:

Way to read, fucktard, you'll notice my wording "the only thing that bugged me". I know historically you're not the best at parsing English, but that "only" was a clue as to my thoughts. It's what's known as a "qualifier" and those tend to be important when noting the application of statements! Think of them as Easter Eggs, and perhaps they'll be easier to find in the future! "Ridiculous" in this context is also a compliment; given that there was only (uh oh, there it is again, better take note!) one negative, everything following that would be a positive, as in "Wow, that shit is ridiculously awesome" or "That was so badass it's ridiculous". I know, I know, that damn English and its multiple uses for words! Equivocation is so easy!

Now shut the fuck up and go back to whatever Stygian pit of the Internet you were conjured from unless you'd care to extol some more creative interpretation of what I said, and are intent on pretending you know better than I do what I happen to mean.

P.S. Don't even think about giving me that "be more clear" routine again. It's not my responsibility to guide you through my thoughts everytime you skim over a critical word or get hung up on an idea. Try it, as you likely will, and you will get the very simple response of "read more carefully" because I'm not going over that crap again.

On that note, who the hell knowingly watches something as bad as Wild Hogs anyway when its awfulness is decried across the whole of the Interblag? Who do you think you are to criticize my wording or opinions if you had poor enough sense to go see that movie (and possibly paid money to do so)? Piss off, attack chihuahua.

Thank you.

This movie melted my face with pure awesome.

Haha, I ended up getting wrangled into seeing Wild Hogs too. It pretty much ruined my day, so I can be somewhat sympathetic

I watched it because I work at a movie theatre and I watched it after work.

You know, we have these things called 'projectors,' and being a 'projectionist' I know how to thread and start them. I cover my own ass by sending the manager a quick text message asking if I can watch a movie late, he says OK, I watch a movie. I watched Wild Hogs with someone else, because that's what they wanted to see.

As for SoD: Ridiculous

Unless used as a fucking adverb (""Wow, that shit is ridiculously awesome") or as a noun ("That was so badass [it was] ridiculous.")

See how I included the adjectives that ridiculous modified in those contexts? The word ridiculous is used more like an adverb in those sentences, and changes the meaning. Without those adjectives, simply calling it "ridiculous" means:

Thats it... I'm adding Tex to my Ignore list on the Control Panel now... His shit is too irritating now. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

You're just now doing this? I don't even know what he's been saying in this thread. SoD is next.

That damn language, always evolving. Words being used in new and strange ways in the colloquial speech! Tell me, do you still interpret "dork" to mean "whale penis" too when applied as an epithet? If so, then that's precisely what you are.

Once again, thank you for demonstrating how your mental disease has disabled your ability to leave well the hell enough alone when you're arguing the stupidest shit in the universe. Thank you, and goodbye.


About goddamn time that was implemented here.


Such great loss when I barely even post here anymore and get attacked by a gibbering Asperger Monkey when I do.

There's an ignore option now!? GOD BREATH AMERICA!!


Computer, activate that motherfucker!!

Heh, took me posting in three or four topics to help spread the word, but yes. Now all we have to do is keep an eye out for Assburger Alts.

I will never ignore anyone, as that takes away a lot of the entertainment value of this forum.

Anyone can contribute to urban dictionary, and a great number of the entries have extremely limited usage.

Try to say what you mean, this is the internet. We can't tell the inflection or pronunciation of your words, and I'm absolutely certain I was not the only one to take that meaning from your post.

SoD, what I find more humiliating is that in your search for a defense as to your vague use of the word ridiculous you side with an entry on Urban Dictionary that ends with:


... Hey, if you want me to treat you like your speech is anything similar to that, I can. But I have a lot more respect for you than to imagine you saying to yourself, "DAYUM, THAT SHIT WAS RYE-DICULUS!"

Saw it today with my wife and we were both impressed. I’d give a 9.5 and have added it to my list of DVD’s to eventually purchase. If you like epic style movies I suggest you see it on the big screen though.

Yeah - it's a nice, satisfying movie, if you like glorious, violent killing. I recommend it to all.

This is a total "secure" man's movie. If you're a guy who can handle seeing a bunch of guys in wrestling shorts and capes kicking tons of ass, this is your movie. As someone else said, whenever there wasn't bad-ass fighting, there was softcore porn! What more could you want out of a Rated-R movie? The only thing that seemed out of place was the naked Gerard Butler ass shot.

Millefune Rating: A (would have been an A+, but I'm not into big muscular man buttocks)

SPOILER: It would have been an A- had there not been a brief rape scene.

Well it's only MA15+ here.

I was thinking it was going to be a whole lot more epic then it was.
Yeah, the fight scenes were pretty awesome as well as a few other things, but it only gets like 8 for me.
But then again that would be just about my highest rated movie ever, except maybe Once Were Warriors, cuz that was both the funniest movie I've seen (when you watch it with a bunch of Aussie friends) and just a good movie (But then again I lived there).

Soz for the late post, this only came out on thursday here.

I dunno, I think this movie gets more hype than it deserves. Sin City was more entertaining than this film. Yes, the "This is Sparta!" pit-kicking was great. But the actual fights were 'meh' and the film needed more crazy Persians. Or at least the hunchback should have been cut in half from head to sternum.

I'll forgive your blasphemy if you *turns on deep homo-erotic voice* just kneel... yes all you have to do is kneel before me, and all is forgiven.

Anyone else think of Zod when he said "Kneel?"

I enjoyed this movie so much that I saw it twice at the theatre. Now I find it’s the only DVD I’m looking forward to buying this year. I’ll snag it up on release day and have some buds over to watch. Probably have a cook out too. Nothing better for male bonding than grilled meats, my world famous Karen’s cake dessert and an epic movie of near Biblical proportion.
