You have to be kidding. That is one of my favorite movies ever. The internet hyped it up for me and when he said his famous line everyone loved it.Aries wrote:I'd have to say snakes on a plane. So fake.........

Worst Movie of all time, you can't say one movie. It's all those chick flicks my girlfriend makes me watch. You wait an hour for something to happen, and when it does you wish it hadn't

... The ninja "Immortals". The true Immortals who fought for Xerxes were tough bastards, but not deformed ninja.
... And what was up with Xerxes being about seven feet tall?
... And all those sickly, deformed people running about like a side show?
... And the Matrix-like slow-mo fight scenes ... (already done to death)
... And the dialogue: "You're still here"? > "Well", (smile) "Somebody's gotta watch your back!" .... gag![]()
... And the hunchback who betrayed the 300. Historically he was no hunchback. Just a regular farmer.
... The whole "raped queen gets her bloody revenge" sub-theme . . .
... And the crowning piece of crap - the king bows to Xerxes after tossing down his helmet and shield... only as a trick ere he hurls a spear that nearly kills the giant. ... This is just fictitious swill meant to please dimwits who won't say "That was a GREAT movie!" unless the evil Xerxes gets bloodied by our hero. ... Never happened.

Athens - birthplace of democracy, from which OUR world originated... gone.
... Those heroes who gave us so much, reduced to bad macho cliche dialogue, and special effects.... it's just sad.
... But I have to agree with you about the chick flicks.
....Said it before to whom, sir? I don't see it in this thread anywhere. But I get your point all the same.vtmarik wrote: I've said it before and I'll say it again:
IT WAS MEANT TO BE FICTION!
It was based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, what part of that whole thing did you miss?

Oh yeah, The DaVinci Code was a letdown. People say you have to read the book to get the film... but reading the book first just makes the film all the worse.
