    And you can't like both?
    I've enjoyed 300 for what it was: a comic adaptation. Whining that it isn't historically acurate is just going beyond the point of the movie. It was an adaptation of a comic that in itself isn't acurate. It's like degrading 'Sin City' because there aren't any badguys as Marve.
    Of course those that believe 300 is like it was back then are just worth crying at

    Mm, I liked the music and the fighting. I just don't like what the comic made of a historical episode that meant so much to our civilisation today, that's all. But putting myself in the persona of a brainless teenager out for bread and circuses, I liked it.

    Meh, I liked the movie.

    Sure, it's all muscles and violence and shite, but then again, what else was to be expected, if you had already read the comic it was based on?

    I expected a masculine hero-fantasy, and got one, and I was happy. If you want to see deep story plots or characters, then it's time for some other film/comic novel. And, I mean, come on, it's a bloody Hollywood film for chrissakes.

    I won't mention all the changes I've made. Most of them are included in my mod.

    I've also made countless other tweaks here and there in the EDU, not because EB has any shortcomings, but because it's the implacable habit of an implacable perfectionist. I'm happy to say that I've tweaked EB less than any mod I've ever had.


    Regarding 300...I found it mildly entertaining for what it was. If you are complaining that it's not historically accurate, then you went there with the wrong mindset. Hollywood is dedicated to corrupting the uneducated teenager's view of history, a fact one must be fully prepared to accept before going to see any movie. To be completely honest, I'd rather see a total and blatantly obvious fabrication of history than something that is implied to be true.

    The sad truth is that the vast majority of the "mob" doesn't give a flying feck for historical accuracy or realism. I go and enjoy the movies with friends anyway. Afterwards, we have a nice chat about the movie's shortcomings and innacuracies over a cup of coffee.

    Btw, Anyone ever read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield? I thought it was a great book which would make an even better film. I've even seen college professors reccomend it!
