And I don't like words like "stupid" very much when discussing films. Especially when his point wasn't.
My point, once again, was that your complaint should go out to the comic. You are basically shooting the messenger when you trash the film. I didn't even find it outstanding, I just wonder how people can go into such movies expecting a history lesson and turn out angry it wasn't that. You know why I hardly ever leave a movie theater disappointed? I read up on the films I am about to see.
That 300 the movie is based on 300 the comic book has nothing whatsoever to do with my claim that it is "tenuously based on a battle."

Rome and 300 really shouldn't ever be put in the same sentence.

You are mistaken. Both films/shows were close to their source material..

I am not mistaken. The assumption that the source material is correct is inane.

The source of 300 is the graphic novel, not history

And the graphic novels gets its source material/distorts its source material from where?

And, as I said, that places it in a much lower league of quality than ROME, which was very accurate. *NM*

You do realize that the Graphic Novel is a work of fiction, right?

300 is deliberately supposed to be non-historical, but this message got lost somewhere along the way

That was such a stupid potential argument that I gave him the benefit of the doubt and discarded it.
