Why are you guys getting so worked up about this? ironclad Send a noteboard - 20/01/2010 11:37:53 AM
And I don't like words like "stupid" very much when discussing films. Especially when his point wasn't.

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."

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.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Rome and 300 really shouldn't ever be put in the same sentence. Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 01:20:16 AM 495 Views
You are mistaken. Both films/shows were close to their source material.. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 19/01/2010 02:29:00 AM 509 Views
I am not mistaken. The assumption that the source material is correct is inane. Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 05:23:20 AM 590 Views
The source of 300 is the graphic novel, not history ironclad - 19/01/2010 11:35:59 AM 537 Views
And the graphic novels gets its source material/distorts its source material from where? The Shrike - 19/01/2010 04:58:30 PM 520 Views
The question is what the film aimed to be ironclad - 19/01/2010 07:45:18 PM 520 Views
It aimed to be shit. And it succeeded. The Shrike - 19/01/2010 10:55:57 PM 510 Views
And, as I said, that places it in a much lower league of quality than ROME, which was very accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/01/2010 04:17:57 AM 221 Views
You do realize that the Graphic Novel is a work of fiction, right? MightyYT - 20/01/2010 05:24:27 PM 495 Views
Golly, gee! I never knew! Thanks for all that. *NM* The Shrike - 20/01/2010 11:56:59 PM 224 Views
300 is deliberately supposed to be non-historical, but this message got lost somewhere along the way Werthead - 21/01/2010 01:47:50 AM 524 Views
That was such a stupid potential argument that I gave him the benefit of the doubt and discarded it. Ghavrel - 20/01/2010 04:17:10 AM 479 Views
