apocalypse Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Re: A must see "300" ermm...... this movie is based on the comic book and loosely based on the history.....so before some history buff starts insulting this movie keep that in mind. Unfortunately the movie is being released here in April so i have to wait till the entire world watches it.....its very frustrating but oh well....i'm buying tickets for the first show. Can't wait. actually its not that much of a stretch. in reality, there were not just 300, but another 600 thebians and a few hundred other, yet they did not number more than a thousand and the persian army was well over 20000, possibly around 50,000. but no where near the one million! but history shows that persians were around a million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX_1138 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Re: A must see "300" Not my kind of movie. I like action & all but in this movie there seems to be lot of MEN & NO women ( :mad: ) - so NO go for me. I loved Sin City though from Frank Miller. Want to see it again. Great movie. did you know that they are making sequels to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
