Went to go see it yesterday, was quite the spectacle....I definitely enjoyed it. There was all kinds of nudity and blood and screaming, a few melodramatic monologues, but definitely a romping stomping bad ass action film.
However, the part that sticks out most in my mind is the goat-headed sitar player...I want to see more of him, dammit!

Saw it on Saturday. Decent popcorn flick. The visuals were pretty cool and I didn't even notice that the hour and 50 mins had past (read: it didn't drag for me). I did notice that there was quite a bit of giggling during some parts of the movie. Most of the giggling was whenever there was a boob or sex on screen or whenever they showed the humpback.

Stabbings
Women under the influence
A wet tongue kiss by a leper

Well, I got to see it on the IMAX so it looked pretty damn good. All in all it was enjoyable, but it dragged at times to me.
I had to laugh every time they would zoom out and you would see 50 dudes in speedo's with shields and spears striking poses, you cant take that seriously. I dont know why they bothered doing that I dont think it added anything unless you like seeing naked dudes.
A couple ironic moments, even though I know this movie wasnt supposed to be historically accurate, the zing about the athenians being 'boy lovers' was funny, as well as them going on and on about free peoples and justice, when sparta enslaved an entire people. Once again I know it wasnt supposed to be totally accurate but it seemed ironic to throw those in there.
The fight scenes were pretty well done and the imagery was good.

Hmm .. upon my first sighting of the 300 trailer online. . . "YAAARRRRRR!!! THIS IS SPARTA!!I AM A BIG MUSCLY MACHO MAN THAT YOU WANT TO BE AND/OR HAVE SEX WITH BECAUSE I AM SO MANLY CUZ I GUNNA FREE DA SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!!!!!!!!!111111111
. . that's about when I stopped watching and closed the internet window out of sheer depression. If there's one thing this revolting culture does not need MORE of it's fucking macho wank. Frank Miller should be beaten to death with tampons and pantyliners by a mob of angry women. . . .hell, that'd be a damn sight more entertaining than seeing 300. :erg:

It's not all about greasy macho men. A chick stabs a dude later in the movie.

Oh yeah, THAT makes it allllllll ok. :rolleyes:

I think he was being facetious, Lady Taffer:)
I think I've already said my part on 300, so I'll be quiet - but my friend did tell me about the "Athenian boy-lovers" line, which did confuse me. Are they TRYING to break the movies sense of disbelief? I don't see why they'd do anything like that, unless they're just assuming that 95% of the audience doesn't know jack shit about Greek History.
oh, wait
Seriously though, I don't care about 300. What worries me is that the guy who is directing this is next going to DIRECT WATCHMEN.
Now, if he's just good at doing faithful adaptations, great.
If he's just good at doing zombie and/or Persian hack-em-ups, then I'm afraid I will have to bomb the set of Watchmen to prevent such a travesty from being released on the world.
