What does the "300" stand for anyway? 'Cause as of now, I think it stands for the 300 threads that have been made about it.

I might, although I'm doing my very best to ignore all the hype around it. From what I've heard, people who care about it from a history point of view hate it, while those who prefer more fantasy, video game type style love it.

Now, my degree happens to encompass this area of time, and it is something I have studied a reasonable amount. But at the same time, I love fantasy and video games. So I'm intrigued to see whether my love for historical accuracy or my love for fantasy, video game type style will win.

But then, I'm a bit of a wimp, so it sounds like it might be too violent and gory for me, heh.

300 is for the 300 spartan warriors that fought in the war. It looks good, but I'm not anxious to see it.

But that's the cool thing to do nowadays! It's so much easier than trying to be original....

Anyway, Frank Miller was (presumably) only ripping it off from Herodotus =P

It looks like a good movie, of course it does. But it probably won't be as good as everyone's saying. So i'm not in a rush to see it.

Based on the Battle of Thermopylae, in which 300 Spartans held a narrow passage from a force of a million* Persians FOR A WEEK.

*estimates vary, but it's probably between 200,000-2,000,000

Then a traitor led the Persians to a secret passage and they slaughtered the Spartans. During the battle, those Spartans who had lost their weapons fought on with tooth and nail. That's just how awesome they are.

Well, that would be like saying a World War 2 film is automatically ripping off of every other World War 2 film because it's on the same subject.

But not every world war 2 film has the same premise, now does it?

What about the original film "The 300 Spartans"? Have you thought of maybe that the graphic novel took a few significant ideas from that? If there's a link there, that means that both the graphic novel and the movie "300" ripped off the original movie.

There IS a movie called "The 300 Spartans". So I'm guessing that movie came from the novel. So that does sort of make it a remake.

Errmmm... No. It didn't take ideas from the movie 'The 300 spartans', it took ideas from history, when it actually happened...

I want to see it, but... it's not getting much praise on metacritic...
