    Is this a re-make of "300 hundred Spartans", that old B movie?

      Based on the same historical story but its an adaption of a graphical novel. If you ever saw Sin City, it's that idea.

      I don't think it's going to be historically accurate but it could be a lot of fun. I plan to go.

          When I saw the trailer and those guys started to jump around like super-heroes I was immediately appaled that they'd make another Troy - and make it even worse!

          Then I realized it was a comic book adaption... CGI too, I believe? All was instantly forgiven and my interest was immediately aroused.

          I think I'll watch it.

          Cheers! :bottle:

            i really liked troy...

            and i always thought that the battle at thermopolae would be a great movie; but i'm definitely a little wary of the comic book-style adaptation. (mostly the brief trailers with characters who look more like monsters than real people).

            but, i'm probably going to check it out. and if the action and story are decent, i'll be happy.

                        I would not exactly call blood & gore "gay".

                        Like, you mean there is gonna be a buncha limp-wristed fairies skipping around the battlefield tossing flowers at everyone while warriors are busy hacking, slicing and dicing each other to pieces?

                          My bad.

                          I never saw the trailer, only bits on TV.

                          Is it like Gladiator?

                            Or like Troy with endless scenes of Brad Pitt oiling himself up before and after battles. Hollywood did stop short of telling the original story that Achilles got so upset about Patroclus being killed by Hector because he was his fuck buddy. In the movie they changed it to being his cousin.

                              Yeah, and the way that they turned Achilles into some politically correct, sensitive guy who cared about womens' feelings...

                              I think it's implied in the Iliad that he and Pat are both poofters, that also enjoy screwing the trophy slave women captured in battle...
