300 Spartans !!!

**YAKOBU** · 02-22-2007, 01:21

Hi everyone

I've not been on the forum for a long while as I took the drastic step of getting rid of my Total War games. My social life has picked up but I do miss the game every now and then.

Anyway back to my point of visiting. I went to see Hot Fuzz tonight at the cinema and was pleasantly surprised to see a trailer for the 300 Spartans. The trailer looked very good but I think it will be very far removed from what I expect as it looked very fantasy based with what looked like monsters/ogres or the like in it.

Anyone else have any views?

It is based on a graphic novel so that answers the fantasy part. I think it look freakin awesome and totally kickass. I dunno about you but Im definitely gonna see it. BTW how was Hot Fuzz? I dunno when it comes out here but Im gonna see that too.

there was a good topic on the movie in the Entrance Hall. worth looking at.

wasn't it actually 3,000,000 Persians against 700 Thebans and 300 Spartans?
dont like the fantasy..

3 million persians? That number was unthinkable as a capable army back then. No way that many. Though there was very many persians.

The Movie is fantasy, I saw some people riding rhino's on the previes

. And theres probaly some sex scenes and whatnot. Should be a great (Though unrealistic) action scenes though.

Just wait...coming soon to a history classroom near you, youths arguing history from the viewpoint of 300.

Where are the homosexual Spartans with long hair? I mean come on, even history makes a good pop culture movie in this instance.
