I used to think the same way, but I did see very lately this movie (yesterday I downloaded it, and going to purchase it in collector dvd edition, after it was being mentionned at class, as we study ancient greece so our teacher mentionned it several times thinking it would appear more familiar).
And I can tell, honestly, that it is one of WORST MISTAKES I EVER DID.....to have avoided watching it when it came in theaters!!! (and people in my class at the time were telling me: "you are doing a *BIG* mistake to avoid it")
I am all aware of controversy, but heck...this movie is pure awesomeness, that aside!!!!
I *KNOW* I am bumping an old topic.
*grin*
Very little factually about it ? History rewritten ? well of course, it's Hollywood
I don think 300 rates as the worst movie, certainly not a great movie but there are many far worse, just watch Beowulf...... actually dont watch it, you will regret wasting 1.5 hours of your life
I think many movies are simply over hyped pre-release so we expect to much of them. If we watched them on a Sunday afternoon on TV they wouldn't seem so bad, but hearing all the advertising bumf and paying to see them in a cinema makes the disappointment x10
300 is awesome. I did watch it twice in a weekend. Excessive violence was annoying, otherwise, very good one.
Did have a look at what Immortals were in reality...nothing really immortal, unlike those from 300.
