I've watched it a billion times.
Never gets the least bit old.
It's the only movie I could watch back-to-back and not be bored with it.
Just, total love for it.

Good movie. Real nice cinematography and such. Really nice acting carrying it too. Graphic novel is far far superior, like Pakx said.

It's movies like this that make me happy I don't read graphic novels.
If I had, then I probably wouldn't of enjoyed it anywhere near as much.

^ I didn't read the novel until after seeing the movie, so my view of it wasn't tainted =)

i thought it was a good movie and yes the novel is superior. 300 was a bad ass movie but the graphic novel was better though some say it was as good.

^ I thought 300 the graphic novel was rather dull.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Watching V for Vendetta is watching gun-rape ****.

Haven't read the graphic novel but I agree about the movie.

i give it to the 300, a damn good action movie. i loved it, definitely in my top movies but some people did blow it out of proportion.

really? i absolutely was dissapointed with the comic book. it was poorly paced, barely written and overproduced. i read it back in 2001, and was bored to tears. i felt cheated out of my 24 dollars. Frank Miller's been slipping since DKR2.

Even if so, I'm really looking forward to Holy Terror, Batman!

i didn't mean that there wasn't enough dialogue, i just felt what Frank added was superfluous, and what he didn't add seemed important and missed. he paced his story really shakily, and the structure was just too straight forward for something this simplistic. this kind of darty narrative works well in something like Batman or Sin city because the inner dialogue of a Batman or Marv character helps the reader's mind meander through the quick scene changes and sudden and gratuitous ambiguities, but in 300 there is no inner monologue beyond King Leonidas' self-important speeching, which served it's purpose, but failed to grasp me in the way that Year One's noble prose, or The Hard Goodbye's knowing descent into insanity did.

yeah i get where you're coming from, Sin City is my favorite Miller novels and it really captured me. but yes, i do see your point, i guess all the blood had me pumped in the theater XD
as a movie 300 was a great time in the same way that say, Predator is a great time. it was completely and utterly unaware of itself, and that kind of emboldened conviction is so rarely seen in action movies anymore. every action movie these days is trying to be self aware and it just ends up being obnoxious, what made 300 a spectacular action film is that it was so obviously homosexual, and so obviously gratuitous and hypocritical and testosterone fueled and mysoginistic and violent and grunty and xenophobic and racist, that pointing out those flaws seemed pointless. and knocking on the flick for being those things just made you a nitpicky asshole, what made the film so much better than the comic book was that it had the pace of a film, and a very simplistic film at that. it's purpose was to get your heart jumping and your fist pounding. Gerrard Butler is a terrible actor, but he overacts every role he does, so of course he was perfect casting for a guy who yells things like "Eat Hearty! For Tonight, We Dine in Hell!" if anyone without a booming voice and complete, blind conviction in a rediculous line like that, delivered it, the entire movie would be a joke.
