Unfortunately, your opinion leaves me thinking you have no taste. The movie was visually stunning to me, doesn't matter how much CGI they used since it was done well. Of course, if you think it's a pile of shit, nothing anyone says will change your mind. One point though: I don't go to see movies based on comic books for the plot or the accuracy or to learn about history. @singularapathy: That is your opinion.

The style in Sin City was superior to 300, and was (all in all) a much better film. I mean, not great, but it was at least watchable. The thing is, the "300 effect," as you're putting it, does make a film bad. One of those things, inertly, may not make a film bad-- but combining those things in the way that they're combined is crap. It's like the difference between putting a little bit of milk in your oatmeal and dumping a freaking gallon in there. There's a difference in taste: one is decent, the other is horrible. The movie, inherently, was horrible. For all of the reasons I listed above. If you want to like the movie, that's your right. I can't STOP you from liking crappy cinema, but the fact of the matter is, you didn't actually rebuke the stuff I listed above. If you want a movie that's charming with its own unique graphical style, go for something like Waking Life (or, Hell, even Sin City, as I said above). @<a href="#comment-230109" rel="nofollow">iamevilhomer</a>: Irrelevant. It's slanted, yes, but why should we inherently presume the narrator isn't objective? Even if we do, it was still based on Thermopylae and simple things like the Phalanx (even if narrated by an unreliable source) should stand because that was a huge part of their culture. There have been countless tales about those Spartans and about Thermopylae, and none of them (from ANY point of view) have been that stilted. Simple as that. Lame, since you're so clever by insinuating that I can't insult anything without doing it myself: don't ever complain about music, literature, film, or anything like that ever again. Because unless you do it yourself, you're apparently not allowed to have an opinion. Bullshit. 300 wasn't JUST bullshit-- I love how you guys are missing the rest of it. It was a bad fucking film. It's not JUST that it was inaccurate. It also was horribly acted, terribly directed, had characters that didn't change at all, poorly costumed, laughably written, overly stylized to the point of absurdity (along with that wretched slow motion), and had the stupidest thematics ever. It's a lot of stuff that goes into making a truly WRETCHED film. 300 had it all! @ColombianMonkey: Well, that whole thing sure showed me, considering you touched on a total of– what– zero of my points?

The Movie was indeed short. Persian empire wanted the land. the wife asked help and they got the middle finger so they said fuck you and they go and defend them selfs. okay and? even if it is short..again does that make a movie bad? or i missing out on something? anyhow, being on a much bigger picture than this film. does a movie that is different than a film on the recipe for perfection have to suffer so greatly? Im talking about movies that have been continuously made in such a way that if any movie that isn't build on it's foundation should not be accepted as a good film? <blockquote>it was just a crappy movie with a stupid “WAR = PEACE” agenda that dumbass kids on the internet keep quoting in meme form because it makes them feel like they’re cool.</blockquote> whoa whoa lol allot of anger there. i'm sure you KNOW movies have been made to have multiple psychological agenda's to serve the different amounts of audience. It's just the task of the person to find it to be happy. because having disgust for people with child mentalities will just make you look like them from a different perspective. @<a href="#comment-230069" rel="nofollow">nyokki</a>: what i did is google the word pilcrow and i saw the symbol and copied it instead of going in character map. hope it makes it easier for you :) @singularapathy: okay, the way the movie was build, the saturation, the cgi, the slow motion, etc. let’s categorize it and call it “300 effect” okay? thorough the whole film it was used. does that make a movie bad? because another movie used a little of “300 effect” and it got more famous than it? does any movie have to stand with the fundamentals of a particular discipline when producing it?

it was just a crappy movie with a stupid “WAR = PEACE” agenda that dumbass kids on the internet keep quoting in meme form because it makes them feel like they’re cool.

whoa whoa lol allot of anger there. i’m sure you KNOW movies have been made to have multiple psychological agenda’s to serve the different amounts of audience. It’s just the task of the person to find it to be happy. because having disgust for people with child mentalities will just make you look like them from a different perspective.

@nyokki: what i did is google the word pilcrow and i saw the symbol and copied it instead of going in character map. hope it makes it easier for you :)
