300!
polycounter lvl 18
Has anyone seen the trailer for 300? It's based off 300, a graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City).
All I have to say is, DAMN!
This is the link to the HD trailers. If you can, I highly recommend it in 480p+. If not, just click for the low res ones near the bottom of the page.

Wait until the movie is out to say they ripped every line.
Unicorns like apples.
Frank Miller's 300 exaggerated and romanticized the truth. In Miller's version, it was strictly only 300 Spartans, against a MILLION Persian soldiers.
"The 300 Spartans" was based on reality; the real battle of Thermopylae. 300 Spartans and a small militia force held off the Persian army (of about 250,000 men) for 3 days. This was meant to give the mainland forces time to prepare.

The entire Persian host was allegedly a million strong. And even if it was exaggerated, it's kind of irrelevant - it's not like all 250,000 Persian soldiers were able to engage the Spartans at once. And to be an even bigger geek about it, we're trusting the word of Herodotus on the size of the Persian army, and his numbers had to be based on Greek estimations.
The 'few stood against many' bit is all that matters, regardless of what the numbers were. No one knows exactly how many Mexicans besieged the Alamo, but it's still a good story.
Eld, that's not far from the truth, actually. A lot of Spartans chose very little armor. At most, they would wear a leather chest plate, and possibly leather legging's, along with their helmet. They chose mobility over heavy armor, as they were skilled enough to fight.
trailers are looking good but the lines do not work for me. strong in the comic, weak in the movie so far.
I don't know, but ... a shirtless hairy man will never cease to ... amaze me.
