    I left the movie wanting to grab the closest stick I could find to stab people with.

    Thanks for the review! Have read the original comic/graphic novel? Do you think the movie does it justice?

    So I take it this movie was worth waiting several days for since you couldn’t watch it on Friday? :D

    Oh definitely. I came out of the theater thinking it was just about the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. I’d say it was equal Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction badass but Samuel L. Jackson has the cool factor and a wallet that says “Bad Motherf**ker”

    I have not read the graphic novel (I intend to…) so I cannot comment.

    I find it funny that the King of the Spartans sounds so very Scottish. It’s like a comic book version of Braveheart, with pretty boys and nice hair.

    Aww Ed you made me laugh with your blog, great job. Good summary.

    “GOOOD JOB SPARTAN…YOU MADE ME LAUGH…HA HA HA HA” *Poke*

    at some point of the fight scene’s I was like “yes another one down, go stab another” god we’re so desensitized from all this stuff. The persian god guy had a HOT body…if his eyebrows weren’t liek that i’d do him!…minus the makeup.

    That scared me a bit

    I can’t wait to see this one. It doesn’t come out here for a while though. It’s good to hear it actually lives up to the hype.

    I had a similar feeling watching Fight Club. There’s nothing like a good violent movie to get the testosterone going.

    It is a good movie if you are going for the scenes and action. This movie has been widely criticized because of contents deviating from “historical accuracy.” For information, this is FRANK MILLER’S 300, and not the actual Historical Battle of Thermopolye.

    I think women and men watch the movie for different reasons. We watch it for the action and the women watch it for the men wearing nothing but undies and capes.

    [...] 300 was such an awesome movie, it was bound to spawn a billion knock-offs and parodies. Fortunately, this is actually a pretty good one. The characters and mockumentary style are a bit like that of The Office…although I must admit I’ve never seen anyone fight with a sharpened carrot before. [...]
