They're giving money to charity, how can you possibly have a problem with that unless you are answering your own "Why why why"

[b]YEP. Gullible teenage boys will do that.[/b]
Yep. Gullible teenage boys, who know nothing about war or real physical pain, are going to make "300" into a megahit, while they get off by watching beheadings, tortures, injuries, war casualties and death for entertainment, from the comfort of thier subarban multiplexes.

I'll be HAPPY when this ugly gorefest--- will be THROWN off the number one in the Box-office spot--- by a FAR MORE SENSIBLE MOVIE!! And that will happen.

Of course it wasn't 100% accurate, I've studied this battle and yes there were glaring inaccuracies it was still entertaining none the less. And it was leaps and bounds better then Troy, IMO.


Wow you mean this movie won't be #1 forever?! Jesus, what insight! Got any lotto number or anything you care to share with us?!!


Idiot.

300 HAS A $70 MILLION GROSS ALREADY?!?!!??! good lord almighty...im ashamed that i added 10 dollars to that. that has to be a record of some sort. either way, really, really awful film. would make a sweet drinking game for "how many times a line is yelled", "how many unneeded slow mo shots", and "how many times a straight man turns gay during a showing". is it just me or are none of the jocks who applauded (during my showing at least) this movie noticing that its totally the gayest film of all time?
