Im a huge fan of all things Ancient Greece both real and mythology. Its ok. I think they missed an opportunity to make it more grounded in realism like say Troy but they leaned the other way. It was ok to watch once or twice but its not a movie I want yo watch repeatedly even as a movie junkie.

It may be fascist propaganda, but its at least enjoyable and commits headlong into its stylistic origins as an adaptation of a graphic novel. Snyder is not a very good director, imo, but he has his talents, and turning a comic panel into a movie frame is one that hes quite good at.

I hated it at the time despite everyone telling me it's right up my alley. Excessive slow-mo ruined the fight scenes and I felt absolutely nothing for Leonidas being sad about missing his family. As an Iranian I wasn't offended by the depiction of the Persians, though; if anything, they looked way more interesting than the Spartans.

I really liked it at the time, but haven't seen it since release and don't really feel the itch to remedy that.

I remember David Wenham's speech at the end being my favorite part of the movie, oddly enough.

Yes. I have only watched it once. My friends mentioned that they were going after school, so I got in their car and saw it without knowing a single thing about it. Don't think I ever even saw a trailer.

And have no desire to watch it again, because I already got an iconic high school day out of it.

I saw it in theaters with friends when it came out and I was a dumb teenager. It was exciting and cool at that point, but every time I look back on it, I think of how completely over-the-top and silly it is and I feel like I'd cringe a bit if I watched it again now.

I'll say yes, but with an asterisk that I'm moderately confident that it'd flip to a no if I rewatched.

Same. I had a ton of fun watching it in the theatre, but I'm terrified of watching the movie again, because I can't imagine it was actually any good, I was just like 12 and the theatre was full of people laughing at it.

I remember people getting pissy at Gerard Butler because he was on the beach like a year post-film and didn't look like he was built in a lab to seduce your significant other and/or murder Apollo Creed.

Because these people thought looking like that is easy or healthy.

no. Snyder movies are slow and boring.
Like, action movies shouldn't be slow and boring.
All of his movies can lose about a half hour by making the action real time, but somehow his fans think his movies need a whole added hour to them. That's how i know i am not a fan.

Whoever felt the need to mark me for using gay as an insult, that isnt what I was doing at all, nor is it something that I would consider it acceptable to do.

I was merely remarking that its odd that its seen as a manly film within lad culture, a culture which is normally rife with toxic masculinity and homophobia, when it seems to me to be a very homoerotic film. I wasnt suggesting that its bad because of its homoerotic nature.

No. It's an excessively silly movie. I don't mind mindless action flicks, but only if the action is actually good; it wasn't in 300.

The real joke of that reputation (along with the Spartans in-film deriding the Athenians as "boy-lovers") is that, historically, the Spartans were probably the most militantly gay culture in recorded history. Men were conscripted into the army and lived in all-male barracks until they were in their late 20s; accordingly, gay relations were both normal and encouraged in Spartan military society (you might fight to defend a countryman or a brother-in-arms, but you'll fight like hell to defend your lover).

The men who survived their military service were expected to go home to their wives and start pumping out babies for the good of Sparta, but many saw it as a duty to undertake on sufferance rather than something to genuinely look forward to. There's a famous letter from a retired Spartan military commander to all his old pals still in the service where he's complaining about how effeminate and unmanly it is to be stuck at home sleeping with a woman, then wistfully recalling all the hot, sweaty gay sex they all used to have together and wishing he was still at the barracks with the rest of the dudes.

Perhaps this is a good way of putting it.

This isn't strictly related to 300, but I'm in the mood to trash Sparta

People bring up the Laconic "if" like it's some prime example of Spartan badassery, but they always conveniently leave out the fact that after the Spartans sent that reply, Philip of Macedon invaded and utterly handed them their asses like he promised them he would.

And they lost to Thebes before that in the Battle of Leuctra relatively shortly before that.

Also, I thought that Macedon fought and defeated Sparta in 331 BCE at the Battle of Megalopolis, which happened after Alexander was on the throne. Said battle was conducted by Macedons regent in Greece, Antipater, since Alexander was busy conquering Persia. So it wasn't Philip who beat them, while Philip is responsible for dealing with Thebes/Athens while he was alive.

Also, as fate would have it, the Spartan revolt before the Battle of Megalopolis was funded by Persian money. Oh the irony.

I liked it quite a bit.

Normally I get very hung up about faithfulness to source material/history if the movie isn't a blatant comedy/parody (which is why I loathe the movie Troy, which I see was mentioned above in this topic), but this movie just so flagrantly violates everything I know that it actually wrapped around into being awesome.

Not to mention it is a candidate for being the most meme-spawnable movie I've ever watched.

Pretty great entertainment, would watch again willingly if I had to kill time.

Meet the Spartans

I agree that the parody version wasn't too bad either. One of the better ones even, IMO.

I was so deep into the hype, that I actually went to go see Meet the Spartans at the movie theater

I still maintain that it wasn't as bad of a movie as people say >_>

I enjoyed meet the Spartans, but I am easily amused.
