trane_fanatic Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just saw it today. Enjoyed it for what it was. Don't know how faithful it was to history or the Frank Miller graphic novel. What did you folks think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I liked it. . . .It's pure fantasy. Gets hardly nothing right historically, and I always laugh when Sparta is touted as "holding up freedom" (wonder how all those oppressed helots felt). But who cares, it's a guy flick. I think they captured the Frank Miller graphic novel world well and made a good movie of it. (I haven't read this graphic novel, but I sure "felt" Frank Miller all over this).

sal Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I liked the eye candy, but didn't care for the film overall. I can't recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a good ol' special-FX laden gorefest... just like Sin City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 might have to see this just for that Rhino in the preview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDK Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Quite faithful to Frank's GN, but I didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donald petersen Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 it was like 200 times better than sin city. which means not very good but worth it if you are bored and the theater is close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't understand the concept of "not very good but worth it if you are bored and the theater is close by". Take the money and feed someone.

Guest donald petersen Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 i also thought the 300 was about 10 times better than zodiac. not that i would want to see either again but if i had to watch one, it would be the 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
