I think they are releasing it in March and ahead of the Summer movies because there are a bunch of really big summer movies and this way it will be a blockbuster on it's own.

I agree Kenny. I was happy to see it was coming in March. May in 2010 already has "Prince of Persia" which has a similar look and appeal I think.

I had never read the graphic novel for 300 - but I was always filled with respect for the real 300 in History (I would conveniently forget the terrible things the Spartans did....). My thoughts were on the debt that Western Civilization owes to Leonidas and his soldiers. Imagine how things could be different if they never held that pass?

Still, I will keep my mind open - and I am sure I will enjoy the new film.

But he didn't hold the pass. they just delayed the taking of Athens by a few days. It wasn't until the next year that the army was pushed back. Mostly because Xerxis left early because he didn't want to be trapped in europe. I don't think that the three day battle played a significant military achievement. It might have given a moral boost like "Remember the Alamo", but I don't think there would have been a great historical impact if they weren't there. Given that they lost the tactical mind of Leonidas in that battle, they might have had pushed the Persian back faster had he survived.

So did I.. :) You rock Rico

WHOOOAAA! Thanks Rico. That looks really good. Liam Neeson as Zeus ...while not Sir L. Olivier...seems like a perfect choice.

I've come to expect Youtube to pull down this stuff these days. I find it funny that a trailer is really that big a deal. It's not like the trailer looks unfinshed. I mean a good chunk of it is all seen in the other trailer anyway. Seems like they would want the publicity.

The wife and I went to the movies today and saw posters and ads for Clash up in the theater. Today we saw 'Precious' - which was very moving - and not quite a feel good film by any definition - but filled with insight.

I'm not sure about this film. I have not seen anything that would make me want to see it in the theater. The CGI looks antiquated compared to so much of what we have seen recently. It looks more like a computer game and that kind of turns me off. I'll probably still rent it when it comes out.

I agree with Kevin on this one. And I think the rock and roll soundtrack makes it even more low rent. I hope I am wrong, as I love the concept, but these trailers are not doing it for me. It looks like more of the same drivel.
