Re: EB poll of '300'
its either going to be excellent, or horrible (whatever the last choice is...) i doubt there will be too many 'average' votes.
Re: EB poll of '300'
It's a 30 day poll so everybody has some time to vote if they have'nt seen it.

Re: EB poll of '300'
It all depends how one is open minded or not imo.
Because it is not a historical Film, yet it is an entertaining movie.
So if one is capable of watching it for what it is you will lke it. If one's view is "stuck" in to a certain frame of mind you will most probably not like it.

Re: EB poll of '300'
Personally I feel that it was a terrible AND excellent film. Terrible from a historical standpoint but really cool as a film. I just love the dark almost b&w photo, its almost like a crudely drawn comic.
IMHO if a movie is based on a historical event the director should stick to facts and not alter or add to that storyline. This abuse is what makes 300 a terrible film.
Re: EB poll of '300'
Tendentious abuse at that.

Re: EB poll of '300'
It is hard to argue a movie's historical accuracy when it shows a goat-man in the orgy tent.
You can quote me on that.
Re: EB poll of '300'
I just came for 300...
For the show, it was all I need at the moment, a really fun piece of time.
Of course, if tomorrow I hear that some nuts use it as an historical source, I would be greatly ashamed.
Re: EB poll of '300'
LOL!! I like that...I will :)

Re: EB poll of '300'
lets consider for a moment the fact the entire movie is told as a story, a legend told by a spartan. every characiture, monster, etc, is all embellishment told by the spartan story-teller, based on their perecption of the evil persian empire. that settles it for me.

Re: EB poll of '300'
Doesn't really match my understanding of the Spartan attitude to these things nevermind concerning defeated enemies. Plus painting a foe your audience might well end up fighting some day as the hellspawn of Hades doesn't strike me as particularly brilliant, either. Au contraire you'd think the telling of the story specifically emphasized how very mortally human the somewhat imposing Persians were...
Side note: didn't Persian financial aid have a rather important role in the ultimate Spartan victory in the Peloponnesian War...?

How about the giant deformed baby with the saw arms? Anyway, I thought the goat-man was just a Persian musician in a goat costume. Crazy Persians....
