I always loved the real story of the Battle of Thermopylae, and even though this movie is actually based on a Graphic Novel, I think its gonna be a great movie...

Sparta is all kinds of awesome.

Yeah I saw the previews awhile back, it looks awesome. It's by Frank Miller who also did Sin City which I still think is one of the best movies ever.

Frank Miller is a god in the pantheon of Comicdom. His sojourns into film and television have been less spectacular by comparison but still stunning in their own right. I am looking forward to the film myself with much ants in my patience.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this movie.

Yeah, this is an opening nighter...

Sadly, this isnt the film I've been waiting for. I wanted a film about the Spartans, not a film based on a comic book. More along the lines of Gates of Fire than 300. I mean, they're not even wearing armour - whilst this is easy on the eye, it grates on the nerves.

As Yoda would say, gutted I am, yes.

If anyone is interested, I RP in a game set in the ancient world - Spartans, Romans, Macedonians, Egyptians (like Rome Total War), then drop us a PM and I'll send you the details. We also have a cool video (well, I think its cool cos I made it).

Why not just link it? lol

This is not a historical film. This is an interpretation of a graphic novel to the film medium (only, without the film) which in of itself was an adaption of a historic event taken to Epic scale.

Hollywood isn't interested in making accurate films.

On the television side of things; I am HORRIBLY loving the second season of Rome.

lol, all things I said in the first post
