Okay, I am obviously asking the guys here.

See, that's the answer I was looking for, not whatever you have posted above. It could be a bit longer, however.
But I was also one of the only two people in the parking lot.

I've noticed that alot of critics are slamming this movie, but I still want to see it.
But it will surely win the award for awkward sex scene of the year.
And I highly enjoyed it. Shut off your brain and enjoy the carnage. Alaan fucked around with this message on 03-09-2007 at 03:34 PM.
It's beautifully done.
Any movie goer that has seen a preview for it should already know this is the case going in.

From the book of Mr. Gainsborough, chapter 3, verse 16:
The critics won't like it because it has little-no plot.Any movie goer that has seen a preview for it should already know this is the case going in.
Is the comic pretty much plotless? I imagine thats much harder to pull of in comic form.
I mean it's for PSP so I'm not surprised I haven't heard about it, but I wonder why it's only on one system. That's uncommon for movie based games.
I wonder if it's any good.
Xerxes is on his way to take over everything and has a gigantormous army. He means to take over Greece and thereby Sparta. The Spartans claim they are descended from Hercules himself.
They will not submit themselves to any man, much less one claiming to be a god (Xerxes). They will not act without the go ahead from the mystics (who defer to the oracle), however. The problem is that Xerxes bought off the mystics with promises of gold and naked wimmins (the mystics are kinda like lepers but not falling apart). So they go "Uh, naw Sparta. You can't fight, so stay home and stuff. Mmm wimmins."
Leonides (he's the king and wants to dine in hell like parce) decides while he can't defy the mystics, he wants to take a walk. North. His wife tells him the king can't go out alone and tells him to take his personal bodyguard. Hoo boy, that's 300 naked dudes.
So they all go north to defend Sparta without actually you know, the army's support.
Well, they kick a lot of ass and refuse multiple attempts by Xerxes' people to go "Dudes, you're badasses. Come work for us!" But THIS IS SPARTA and we don't like dudes wearing clothing and piercings are right out.
So they fight and fight and fight. But since Leonides can't use the services of a little humpback dude who idolizes him, Xerxes talks the humpback little dude into guiding them to the Spartan's undefended flank that's hidden in the mountains in exchange for a costume and naked wimmins (Xerxes apparently has these in supply).
So the Spartans get surrounded and die horrible deaths while screaming and wailing on people.
This gets the attention of the rest of Sparta and they go "MUTHAFUCKAS!" and go to real war.

I think that covers it. Bajah fucked around with this message on 03-09-2007 at 05:34 PM.
Seriously though, you couldn't name something without him having it! I gotta give him some props for that, anyone can have a harem with just beautiful women in it, but he went the extra mile to make his unique!
Movie rocked everything and left me with the urge to throw a spear through someone. Most likely seeing it again, just not sure when yet.
That was the best motherfucking movie I've seen in a good while!
...Shit. I so have to reinstall Titan Quest now.
Wednesday.
That is all.
It was awesome! 
Even discounting the retards who were shouting at the screen and applauding. I mean, who the hell applauds at a movie? Its not like you're getting an encore.
For clarification, they were clapping DURING the movie, not after.
After that it's ok to be angry.
I mean, it's just worthless being mad at something that will inevitably happen. Them crazy kids like having fun and they see awesome movies on the day they come out.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Mr. Gainsborough was all like:
If it was a midnight showing or the one of the last two showings on opening night, it's to be expected and should be dealt with.After that it's ok to be angry.

Its was 1020 on a frieday morning.
1. The "Deep Meaning" crowd. These guys usually seem to be saying the movie is pretty, but it lacks deep and meaningful underlying reasons for existing. These are the folks that think any form of expression must have a message, and forget that something can be entertaining without having to change your life. Most critics who've panned 300 fall into this category, it seems.
2. The Politicos. This is the real reason you don't want a President with a 29% approval rating. These yahoos claim that 300 (despite having been written in 1998, and being a pretty damned faithful reproduction of the piece from that time period) is an allegory for the western world vs the Middle East. The problem is, half the time these guys can't figure out if the Spartans are the Middle East or the Western World. And it gets even better when they try to draw it even tighter. Are the Persians Iran? Makes sense...Persia became Iran. Are the Spartans the United States? Sacrificing Democratic folk...could be. BUT...Are the Evil, Invading Persians the United States, tempting the great culture with-
okay those guys are just fucking assholes.

I'm such a history nerd. My favorite part was when they were fighting in the phalanx. That, and Leonidas' little ass picnic, but that's because I'm a homo.
You just wanted to say "ass picnic".
But seriously, the phalanx was my favorite part, because I'm a total history nerd.
