I'll wait and see what the real movie critics have to say. I don't trust IGN their morons and I've seen them give good movies bad reviews over really dumb stuff and give bad movies praise.

I hated Sin City so I was wary of another Frank Miller project, but seeing the trailer on the big screen blew. me. away. I'm a believer, bring it on.

If Zack Snyder can do a good job with one comic adaptation maybe there is still hope for Watchmen to turn out okay.

Really you didn't like Sin City. To each their own I guess. But this movies being done by a different director and despite Sin City being torn from the pages of the comic you could totally tell Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino directed it.

Just got back from seeing 300, IMAX style. It was an awesome movie. It had everything I was expecting, and more. I highly recommend it.

I too just back from seeing it in IMAX....it was amazing. It was also my first time watching a movie in IMAX, 300 was a great first movie.

I saw it last night and it was pretty awesome. Some of the more fantastical elements I could have done without, but other than that it was great. There was some annoying lady who kept going "TSKKKK" really damn loud whenever something particularly gory happened, though, which was kind of annoying.

I really want to know why I saw a couple 5-6 year olds at the movie, though. As far as I'm concerned, that is completely sh*t parenting. I hope those kids grow up and kill someone!

I went to the MIDNIGHT RELEASE and heard a baby crying. And all the hood rats come out at midnight as well....................

But the movie was hot though.

I saw some young kids last night too. They weren't that young, maybe 10-11 and they were with their parents. I mean, who does that? Unless they came to the theatre not knowing what they were going to see and decided to see 300, not knowing anything about then they are terrible parents.

Oh and the fantasy elements bothered me to. Like that half man half goat thing playing the flute...wtf? I know its based off a comic book, but leave the fantasy creatures out. My friends and I felt like we were watching Lord of the Rings a couple times, haha....anyone else get that feeling?

There were some kids around 14-15 with Spartan gear they probably bought at the dollar store. I thought, "wow, you kids are gay. Norbit is a couple theaters down." Terrible. There weren't may females in the theater, though. Some probably just came because their boyfriend/husband wanted to see it.

Mr. Snackpants
03-10-2007, 01:20 PM
wow....what retarted kids.

Oh yeah I forgot....I went to the 10pm show last night and god damn, there were so many groups of drunk people...it was unbelievable.

do you think this movie is the movie that women do not enjoy?

Did you guys hear of this women that reviewed the movie and gave it a bad review?

Why would a baby be in the theatre at 12 in the morning.

Saw it today, it started out entertaining and I was sick of it about half way through. The words "Wow never seen THAT before" ran through my head many times. Yay over style-ized battle scene...yay fake CGI blood, yay mutant things, omfg king of the world who thinks he's a god! If you've seen any roman war movie you've seen this. Except this is dressed up with a crapload of unnecessary CGI.

The auidence didn't help me enjoy it either, from mothers with babies to mothers with 4 or 5 7 year olds. The rest were 14 year olds who snuck in or paid someone to buy them tickets. They laughed at everything and to be honest some scenes and dialog was so bad I couldn't help but chuckle myself.

The previews were even more depressing, over half the movies we saw previews to were "THE *Insert over used word here*" Not only were the titles uninspired but the movies looked that way also.

Maybe it was because I've been watching alot of old movies but the new movies we get now of days are all so horribly unoriginal and uninspiring. Their so bad their not even funny. Atleast bad movies from the 80's are funny.

I really had hopes this year for movies. I liked The Departed alot and to see a film I like win best picture for once I thought "Maybe movies will get better" but this blockbuster just proved my other theory 300% correct.

Well I cant really agree with you at all sense its a straight up adaptation of Frank Millers work, in my opinion it did very well at telling the story that needed to be told and kept true to what his visison was. I loved how many of the shots looked like how they did from the comic.

Some of your first complaints arent really valid because well....thats frank for you, he goes over the top with his stuff (and when you compare his work with other comics its a huge innovative idea)

Spitfire
03-11-2007, 03:31 AM
And as it worked in Sin City it just didn't for this movie. I shouldn't have to have read the comic to enjoy it.

Well...you like horrible horrible things. I mean...your taste is so...I think the word is horrible.
That's funny you say that because most of the movies I do like are pretty well received.

Heh. I guess I got lucky, no kids at the showing I went to, and there was a good mix of men/women attending. Everyone was into the movie, and people cheered at some of the scenes. People also went nuts when they showed a preview for Spider-Man 3.

You got to see a S 3 trailer? Awesome man. I haven't got to see one yet just a short 3 minute preview of it they show before the movie where they interview a few cast memebers.

03-11-2007, 04:27 PM
Yeah the Spider-Man 3 trailer was pretty awesome. I can't wait for May. It comes out right after finals, so hopefully I'll be able to study and not be distracted thinking about it's awesomeness on the IMAX.

300 is going to be a hard film to top as my favorite of the year. My younger brother says it's the best film he's ever seen, right up there with LOTR. It was utterly incredible!:o

P.S. And what the hell is wrong with the supernatural in it? It made the story (and the graphic novel) more compelling and made you root for the good guys more and stuff. It's a graphic novel for crying out loud and I'd like to get my hands on it/them!

Mr. Snackpants
03-16-2007, 08:28 AM
The "supernatural elements" didn't make it more compelling, it just made you go, "Whaaa? What was that?". When the half human half goat thing showed up playing the flute I could see numerous people looking around basically saying "wtf?". Yeah it's a graphic novel, but it would've been better to take a couple little things out to make it feel more real, rather that some made up story because it didn't really add anything to the story at all.

I could've sworn that was just a masked guy playing for the women or something. And what I meant was that the supernatural elements made it more "exciting," it certainly made it more action-packed b/c of how harder the soldiers had to fight. Awesome movie that should get the respect it deserves!

Well then it was a big hairy mask.
