He looks real to me. The trailer makes the movie look awesome, but it's gonna be long before the movie comes out. There are a load of wicked movies coming out before the end of this year.

some creative license

[Scurvy]

A real historical treatment of Thermopylae is only possible to an extent. Saving Private Ryan was able to have this treatment as there are many eyewitness accounts on record and many witnesses still alive. Thermopylae doesn't have those advantages. Sure, the movie will have some creative license, but just about any movie about Thermopylae has to speculate about some aspects of the battle.

OSU SUCKS

Anyway I think my original words have been twisted. I just don't think a comic book adaptation of a real life event is going to do the real life event justice. I think the real life event would be completely awesome if it were given a 'Saving Private Ryan' type of treatment. Generally comic books don't have that kind of thing. While it may be a fun movie, it won't be accurate at all, and my point was that if given a real historical treatment it would make an awesome movie.

It's true the movie isn't out yet. But then again I saw the trailer, and it's also based on a comic book.

It's like saying that a movie with Mariah Carey's going to suck.. I mean it may not, but chances are... it will.

Well come on dude, a comic-based movie will suck?

That's like saying water isn't needed to survive. I mean, maybe not, but chances are... it is.

Duuuhhhhhhhh

Hmm, I haven't heard anything about the Watchman but I loved Dawn of the Dead. It's not Romero style, which might have pissed some people off but I still liked how it turned out.

[Verthanthi]

Dawn of the dead, which if I remember correctly, was supposed to be terrible.

Also, sadly, he apparently directed the watchmen which does not give me high hopes for it...

I do hope I'm wrong though, I really do because if this movie sucks, they will probably never make another movie about the battle of thermopyle for a very very long time if ever again.

Wait so you tried to compare Frank Miller to Mariah Carey? Or comics in general to Mariah Carey?

IMO what they did with Sin City was amazing, and although I don't think this is the same director I have high hopes since it is being made after another one of Frank Miller's works. I enjoyed the trailer and don't think it will be bad at all, maybe we'll get a better idea after looking at what past movies the director has done?

[Dameon Angell]

It does say, in the trailer, "Inspired by the art design of Frank Miller" or something of the like.

[Necromotic]

isn't frank miller the author of sin city too? i mean that turned out great and it looks like it's got some kind of art style in it

You're incorrigible. The movie hasn't even come out yet but already you're declaring that it "could have been so much more." Just wow.

Good point. Like I remember when I was watching the Patriot... Why didn't the British win at the end? Was Mel Gibson really that good? What war was this anyway, I never heard of it before.

The patriot is about the civil war in America right.. the one with which they undid theirselves of the brits and gained their indepence? Am I wrong on this.. if not, how can you never have heard of it before? I think that the american like to take great pride in that war.

[Vykromond]

Unfortunately this movie is based on a comic book... it's going to be all weird and stuff I can just feel it. It won't have any of the 'historicalness' of even Gladiator (which was 'fake-historical' at best) to lift it up. I can imagine seeing those Spartans in the movie doing Matrix-like kung-fu moves or something too...

This is too bad, because the battle of Thermopyle was one of the most important battles in the history of the Western world and as a movie it could be so much more.
