They were inspired by Spartans in general, not just the 300. Kinda obvious. |

I'm fairly confident I am a direct descendent of Dienekes himself. And if you slander my name in such a way ever again I will be forced to kill you. But before you die know this; I will put under the knife your children, so that I may wipe your seed from this earth forever!

No, your sig is madness...
Gonna get me fired from work for laffin at that Hinata passage ... As for 300, as good as it was (and it was awesome visual and gore-ish pleasure) I felt like there could have been more attention paid to the sub-story involving the politics (specifically the Spartan Queen and Dominic West's character)...I felt like there was alot of potential for an even better movie had they explored that side-story a bit more...Maybe I'm just asking for too much (because West is one of my favorite actors from HBO's "The Wire") but I wanted to see more acting and more scenery of that time period...Basically the movie is non-stop fighting sparced with a small amount of actual storytelling and settings...Still it was b!tchin, and it was cool to see Dhalsim's father draped in gold...If I were him I would have Yoga-flamed the Spartan's a$$ess...

We all know that Halo came out before the 300 movie, that's just stating the obvious, it's like saying that water is wet. It doesn't change that the Spartans from Halo are based off of real Spartans back in Ancient Greece, not just the 300, but the whole Spartan lifestyle back then. Also, the Graphic novel for 300 came out in 1998. There was the movie The 300 Spartans in the 60's, it's not like adapting the battle of Thermoplyae is anything new or special. Hell, even Samurai Jack has had its own take on it. So, it's not like it's anything original. Also, the battle of Thermoplyae has always been quite famous, I knew about it when we did about Ancient Greeks in history when I was 8. We did all sorts of work on the Athenians and Spartans since they were the two of the most famous states in Ancient Greece. So, it's nothing new to me. Unlike most people now, I knew about all this before a Hollywood version came out. |

Watched this last week.. some cool battle scenes, but what was the point of the random sex scenes and the girl dancing nude lol I think the story could have improved a bit, it wasn't nearly as good as some of the other movies of it's genre like Gladiator or Troy. Also what kind of movie title is 300?
