The point was 300 men holding off thousands.

Watchmen is a special case where it's attacked for both being too accurate an adaptation and not being accurate enough. I think it's an issue of Snyder only being 98% accurate instead of 100%. The supposed "inaccuracies" are blown out of proportion, and people even cite stuff that is the movie as not being in the…

"When the hell did white people actually show up?"

I've seen it, I thought it was pretty good, but then again I also liked the first one at the time…

They had slaves, but they were probably treated better than Helots.

I don't want to give Snyder credit as being some kind of genius or something (some people go way too far in either direction where he's an idiot or he's secretly a genius, neither are true), but he's claimed that most of his films have ironic elements and 300 is probably not his most sincere or emotional film by any…

Yeah, a lot of people here are complaining that this movie doesn't show the Athenian naval victory—hey guys, they made a WHOLE 'NOTHER movie about that called 300: Rise of an Empire.

But that was the best meme—I mean, best part!

Yeah, couldn't I write an editorial arguing that 300 got Obama elected twice?

I think she even decapitates some people while naked, which is a real loss in any edited version I'm sure!

I thought dad bod was all the rage now?

To be fair, they made an ENTIRE SEQUEL about that.

She's got HUGE…tracts of land.

Like many movies, people of all stripes can take them a little more seriously than they are intended to be.

Were they in Smallville before they went to the Kent farm?

I wouldn't be particularly concerned about the reshoots affecting the end product too drastically because the reason Whedon was able to so easily come into the production when Snyder stepped down is that Snyder and Whedon developed those reshoot scenes together in March, April, and early May before Snyder decided to…

My only disappointment with that film was the guy on the other end of the line saying "Good luck" in the trailer made me think he must be almost as badass as Neeson, given that he said that in response to Neeson's monologue. Instead by the end of the movie we see he's just a wimp that Neeson murders the shit out of…

The Spartans were not even Libertarians, given that they had a slave underclass that they utilized for their physical labor so that the noble elite could pursue the martial arts and only the martial arts.

My point is that since the original plot is attacked for its holes, the convenient Xanatos Gambits of Lex Luthor at least fill in those gaps.

The whole plot of 300 is a propaganda story told to hype up the Greek armies before the battle of Plataea.
