2. Hell yeah
But not right away.

I suspect that it might draw some rather annoying viewers to its earlier showings.

4. Is that the Thermopylae movie?
Yeah, I'm sure I'll see it. I have a jones for ancient history that will not be satisfied without the visual, good or bad.

6. Be aware that it is very loosely based on the actual history. n/t

5. I'll see it on DVD, alas
I don't get to the theater too often, so this one'll have to wait.

I've been a Frank Miller fan since his early days on Daredevil, even if he's sometimes been a bit of a primadonna.

I'm greatly impressed with how closely the cinematography matches the look of the 300 comic. Nicely done!

Still, 300 struck me as being a trifle too linear to be really interesting, but if you can get past that, then it's not a bad story.

8. Awww hell yeah!
I can't wait. I know that it isn't even close to historically accurate, but I don't care. I love stylistic movies like that. I thought Sin City was great and I bet this will be even better.

13. Probably, but on DVD
Unless it's so bad that it suddenly appears in the video shop next week.
