2. I never did. Why not? Is Extenze a sponsor?

3. It's stupid, screwed up, gratuitously violent, offensive nonsense.

I totally loved it.

6. Like 'Gladiator' (2000)?

Why John Logan ever got work as a writer because of that vapid tripe is beyond me...

31. I actually thought the violence was restrained

Considering how bad it could have been. One graphic decapitation, otherwise not too bad. And I have a very low gore tolerance.

12. It has one of the best movie reviews I've ever read:

I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.

It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated shit out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.

The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.

Snip...

13. I liked it.

Skipped the whole "kid kills an apex animal predator" part, but otherwise.

23. I liked the movie and comic it was based on

I think they did a great job bringing Frank Miller's style to the big screen.

A friend of mine that didn't like it called it, "War Porn". :rofl:

27. I love it. Makes me want to stop at the nearest motorcycle bar, order milk, and whip out a sword.

Most testosterone pumping film I've ever seen, and I didn't know I had that much testosterone.

28. The future of western civilization is owed to those 300 Spartans

The movie was historically inaccurate and completely ridiculous, but I kinda like what they did with the cinematography even though it was just as transparently fake. Perhaps it's exactly the tribute those 300 Spartans would have wanted.

30. best ever quote from a review:

(don't remember the source):

"...it was as if Leni Riefenstahl was commissioned to do gay porn..."

and you can say you like it, but ANYONE who dares try to say it is a good piece of filmmaking is DTM -- I am not bullshittin'

33. The flying blood spatter looked so fake it was distracting.

Also, IMO it did not have enough homo-erotic content :evilgrin:
