300: Worth the Hype?

[Bryan 2.0]

Even so, I still don't think it was that great. If it isn't meant to be historically accurate, then it's nothing more than a historical rip off that had no original ideas of its own...save for that thing with cleavers for hands, whatever that was supposed to be.

Well, if that's the case, alot of classic movies are "ripoffs". Take the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for example. There was no actual guy running around with a chainsaw screaming like he was a four year old. It's based on Ed Gein...and the movie is a classic.

I guess it's good news for you, then. You can save money on movie tickets and just sit at home watching the history channel. Whatever works for you, I guess.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre...classic? Haha. Whatever works for you I suppose. I lke the fact that you're trying to call me a loser for having a different opinion about a movie. Anyways, I didn't mean that no movie should be made based on historical events. What I meant by that is that if it is they should say it is and try to be true to what happened. 300 did a very good job of not mentioning Thermopylae, which is silly. Anyways, historical issues aside, I still didn't really like it. It was okay, but nothing revolutionary in my opinion. What're you going to do?
