Agreed on a 4.

Re: 300

Like one and a half. I'm tempted to say one, but I can't because it was still better than Transformers 2.

I think it's Roger Ebert who says that his base criterion for judging a film is whether watching it is a more worthwhile experience than staring at a blank screen for the same length of time. By that metric, I'd say 300 failed.

Did we skip episode 58? The ID for Constantine is 57, but the ID for this is 59. Also, the Discuss link goes to Constantine.

And 2.5.

Re: 300

300 hasn't been released yet, just the discussion thread. For some reason.

There's a difference between good and enjoyable, but this is a good movie to laugh at smile

I love how Eddie completely forgot that they DID change the costumes for the movie. In that they were all bottomless in the book.

Repressing much?

Re: 300

Greg...would you quit listening to the commentaries early and then blabbing about them? Some of us actually wait until they're released.

4.5 - it's good fun. Folks that don't like this one I don't understand. It stumbles a little by having a boring and underdeveloped subplot back in Sparta but otherwise what's not to like?

Worse than Transformers 2? Worse than staring at a blank screen? It's hard to take such overblown exaggeration seriously.

Re: 300

I would like to point out that, despite what the front page currently says, I was not present for the 300 commentary.     In case you listen to it and assume I am just being uncharacteristically quiet. 

Eddie was a much more appropriate 4th because he had watched the movie all the way through.   And for some reason was willing to do so again.

4.5

Loved this movie from my first view.  I was quick to see it as a story told by the Spartans rather than anything having to do with history.  The action sequences are beautiful and breathtaking, and I actually quite enjoy the over-the-top dialog.  It all makes for a movie that is non-stop fun.

Re: 300

Im with trey on this one. My basic reaction when I first saw it was pretty negative. Overtime I have softened my stance but I think i may have just caved to peer pressure.  The characters are pretty shallow and none of the characters make a decision that they wouldnt have made at the begining of the film. Its not terrible.

Absolutely great podcast. I really enjoyed it.
"They are magic, thats great. How do i punch them in the dick?" really made me laugh.
