This movie is x999999999999999999999 times better than the new one called "300",because the new is piece of a graphic shit and the actors act like they are some american bar workers and not true greeks.
- They are not in Phalanx Formation , instead they used Wedge
- Some Spartans are not wearing Corinthian Helmet and they Look like Praetorian Cohort ( a little )
- The Cavalry Part was a bit wrong , They can pwn the cavalry charge but they lay down in the ground and they split their troops to pwn ( but it was a super epic scene)
and The Rest are perfect and much more accurate to the history
this movie is shit coz it has no entertaining action. why do people complain about the studio animation, its ment to a be fun movie to watch not a discovery channel documentary.
people dont understand that "300" is made to be a fishermens tale, meaning its exaggerated by the soldier telling it. you dont understand and therefore you fail to enjoy a masterpiece. the old is very good as well.
The old one was historically more accurate, but the new movie is definitely more entertaining ;). What do you expect? 300 is based upon a comic only scarsely historical, it never had the intention to be historically correct, as it is just an entertaining film.
The actors of the old movie were Greeks. The music was greek (i think by Hatzidakis i am not sure - the original music not the one used for this videoclip). The land presented was in greece. The actor that played Leonidas was not greek and not a firm like Charlton Heston but played his part decently.
Spartans were great soldiers but REAL PEOPLE with fears and weaknesses. So were the Persians. Each civilization is to be rememberd for its contribution in human thinking and culture.
This actually made me find the 60s film and watch it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Leonidas portrayed in this was much more heroic and courageous than the one in 300.
@name12121212name youre a dick, spartans had hollywood teeth and gelled hair did they ? film critic wannabe. this piece of shit actor has no passion when he says the lines what are supposed to give u an adrenaline rush....go rape ur ugly mother's saggy vagina lips
The new "300" *is* awesome in its own way, but this movie stands out a lot more because it's got more realness to it. I saw it once, that's right, once, on AMC as a kid and I never forgot it! :)
I have to say, I miss these old movies when it was real locations with big numbers of actors and No CGI. The new 300 movie sucked. This one is better.
Many of you guys who hated 300 miss the point i think. It's based on Frank Miller's graphic novel version of Thermopylae! GRAPHIC NOVEL! Now realize why the movie was done this way! I love sword on sandal movie's so I can appreciate both versions of this tale. Look people, if you want to see a factual documentary on this story then go watch the History Channel! Please stop flaming Zack Snyder's version. It's gotten old. I get that to some it comes across as a jock movie.
@name12121212name sure it was realistic , but how good was the acting ? was the movie epic ? thats what i like about a movie , this one was more realistic but it was no where near as epic as the new one
In 300 there were goat men, monsters, zombies, elephants and black guys pretending to be persians as well as riding rhinos. 300 was very innacurate and freaking weird this movie seems better.
This beats the new 300 by a large margin. It's not full of crappy unreal monsters, and this is a must have for those who love the classics. A real epic.
300 Spartans was excellent and showed that more then just the Spartans were needed. It touched on the efforts of Athens ships which without the Spartans would have had a more difficult time. However, with that said there is actually a funny effects moment in this movie. If you watch near the end when the Persians are attacking, you can see a spear thrown and hit one Persian in the face. If you slow it down you can watch the rubber spearhead hit him and bend and is just hilarious.
The old one is not camp. The new one has the gay, homo erotic factor ramped up to 11. Acceptable for Spartans admittedly.
This one had many advantages over the new ones, no Rhinos, no persians with Bondage fetish clothing, Actually showing the other Greek factions as soldiers not as scared farmers, (the only peasent soldiers there were Spartan auxilleries and slaves),
I wonder why in "300" The royal guard had no armor besides shin guards and vambraces, if they were fabled as walking tanks for their heavy armor and large shields in phalanx
The Romans looked nothing like the Spartans. Their Italic allies and enemies would probably have looked more Greek, though.
The characteristically large Roman shield and Montefortino type helmets of the republic were influenced by Celts, not Greeks. In the early republic they may have had spears and hoplons, but their Italic allies and enemies were influenced by Greece, and visa versa. Recent studies have actually shows that the Kopis sword is of Italic origin.
great Idea, if you have time for another how about using the audio track for the 300 trailer with the 300 spartans video, people should get a kick out of that. great job
It's kind of interesting because yeah some of the lines in this one and the new one are similar, but the phrase, "Our arrows will block out the sun." and "Then we shall fight in the shade." Were things that the real (leonidas second man i think) spartans said.
the people who think the 2006 version is unrealistic its not the spartans are just exagerating so the other spartans know the reason they lost is because they didnt have a chanse (well they kinda didnt anyway).
@tb1519 I think you are missing the point of "300." I think this movie is trying to portray what common people back in those days, people that did not witness the battle, may have imagined how it happened. That is why I like that movie, because I see it that way.
This is a fantastic trailer. This is just what you would see if you were in the theater today. The only part that should have been added was where Leonidas says, "Sparta will fight - whethere others follow or not"
Again - fantasic trailer. I need to see the movie again (and I have it on DVD, so I think I will).
@SkyIGR100 no go at you and this is youtube so don't try to use the whole bad grammar and spelling tactics on me, anyways im stating my opinon that you sholdn't blame a movie for not being historacly accurate when it's not meant to be, it's like watching harry potter and saying it's a bad movie because witches and wizards don't exist. In 300 it was only the immortals that where POTRADED as monsters considering the tree of dead ppl earlyer in the movie, all the other persians looked normal
@SkyIGR100 when they were shown that way as a visual metaphor, and i never said that thats what i think of persians so don't try to put that shit on me, the movie wasn't suppose to be historicly accurate jesus just take a movie for what it is, people are so arrogant these days
@SkyIGR100 its a dumb opinion because the new film is based on the graphic novel by frank miller wich is not compleatly accurate or is it meant to be, and for a graphic novel adaptation it's almost perfect
oh thank god i am not the only one that didnt like the new 300 that came out to be honest i didnt even know about this move and in my honest opinion i think this one looks better then to one that came out lol i found this trailer buy mistake i was actually looking for something about britian removing there check system in 2018 lol
the old movie was so much better, maybe some inaccurate, but this story is easier to believe than persian immortal zombies and crazy megatall-hype in chains
This movie is much better than new, new movie is a fantasy and it's sucks. I don't have anything against fantasy, but guys, if you calling movie by a name of real action, show something real. This is like to call a movie "D-day" and show there dragons as nazi planes lol.
Also, this (old) movie is very good, enough will be say that a lot of american movies were banned is Soviet Union, but this - not, TV shows this very often
The story Frank told did NOT , I repeat did NOT have zombies or monsters. The imagery was to portray what the spartans thought of their enemies. NOT how they were, There were visual metaphors, NOT actual stuff.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't agree with that. The spartans didn't think anything of their enemies, because they couldn't think. They killed all their smart babies, the rest was stupid. However, they were grown to real man - hard and strong - and they couldn't have any kind of fear, definitely not a fear of little stinky persians or their visual metaphors.
Still, that movie was a disgrace for the Persian Civilization which was one of the greatest in ancient years. I don't get why your personal interpretation can cover the disrespect Hollywood shows towards History.
BTW, Why not make a movie about the wealthiest, bloodthirsty beasts who invaded a peaceful country, called Iraq?
You can analyze all you want, but after all 300 was a mainstream movie, created to satisfy the needs of this reckless pop-culture.
It was a COMIC book movie. No more disrespectful than Captain America in World war 2, Or Ironman involved in Vietnam...But, I assume your not a comic fan, as comic fans know the books and don't judge them based on reality. Im not being a dick, but its based off a book. Not history, it wasnt meant to teach anything more than the power that the spartans held
Look... I am from Greece and I grew up with the legend of Thermopylae. I feel that 300 as a movie and as a comic book diminished everything: from the two civilizations involved to the virtues of a man in general. It was just a presentation of meaningless splatter which unfortunately our world still needs apparently.
I'm not criticizing the fact that it comes from a comic book. I'm just pointing out that History shouldn't be violated so freely in the name of the masses.
I respect that your from Greece. I really do, but the thing is, is that the historys are so old, that interpetations are what keeps people interested, and possibly look into it deeper than they would before. I do respect your opinion, I just diagree.
Thank you for this civilized dialogue, my friend. :-)
I agree that interpretations can keep people's interest. But that should be done to the extent that no historical figures (such as Xerxes) or civilization (blood-thirsty Persians) are defamed. In this case, defamation is also achieved through Hollywood splatter.
BTW, I would like to recommend you the novel that both the comic and the movie were based on: "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. That's a decent interpretation imo.
Thank you as well, To find someone online who doesnt misspell and throw a bunch of immature insults when they disagree is RARE. I will check out that book, I always look out for greek referenced books. Ill pick that up the next chance I get. I agree that Xerxes got a bad hand in those movies, If he said he would give you the world, as long as you bowed, he DID. He did NOT lie at all, but the movies didnt portray that. Thank you for the conversation. Keep the comments coming.
@HitByTime Unfortunately the masses dont care about history. They just want a story. As such, there will alays be good guys, usually portrayed as square jawed handsome chaps, and bad guys, who will be caracatures, stereotypes and falsehoods rolled into one. Movies dont do balance, they dont do accuracy and they dont give a fig about Greek or Persian cultural heritage. (Or anyone eleses)
@Tiwaz81 That is one of the good things of Troy...and I know how innacurate it is but at least it presents both sides of the fight there is a side portrayed more evil and they win, that shall count
@twiztidlestat Yep. You know that. I know that. But all the people who watch the movie and havent read a history book since.. ever. Will take what they see on the screen to be in some way related to the truth. It happened after Braveheart, The Patriot and pretty much every movie about WW1 or 2.
I tend to agree in a way. I was asked to read a book called Gates of fire by Steven Pressfield...AMAZINGLY written and seemingly much more accurate than 300. They both are GREAT interpetations of what they were, and in the ways they were made, I say watch/read both, and enjoy them for how you want, ya know
@twiztidlestat The imagery portrayed what Frank Miller thought of the Persians or what he thought would be more interesting to the average comic book nerd, very little is recorded of Spartan opinion on Persian soldiers or fashion.
The whole story is inaccurate, since it is widely acceptred that each spartan was accompanied by 10 helots, which raises the 300 to 3300...
But Romans dressed like greeks. The roman empire widely adoptet knowledge from the overthrown cultures they waged war on. So was the lorica hamata, the chainmail, a celtic envention, for example.
Persians didn't dress in Black and they had colorful dresses that even impressed Alexander.
And Persians didn't invoke the war, the Greeks did by attacking Persia first.
Plus, Xerxes offered the Spartans safety many times, even at the very end when they regroup in a circle. He tells them that they are welcome in his country. He was much more merciful that it is depicted here.
@Arad737 actually... Persians did prevoke greek, we just learned about this in SS and the 300 spartan warriors inspired the rest of greek to beat the persains, without their contribute, lord knows what things would be like today!
No, the size of the armies in this is realistic? Have you gone mad? And the location, I guess in this one is more realistic, but the new one has more though.
The new one is based on an overexagerated comic book. This one actually has the true persian attire as well. The real spartans wore bronze body armor as well. The one in the comic.
I agree, the new film is good to watch, in my top 10 films but quite a few bits are a bit odd like Ephialtes and those weird female things in the tent, And the immortals. I think what frank miller was trying to do was look at it how they would see the persians at the time, monsters and daemons especially with the rhino's and elephants as they were almost unheard of during that period. Exaggerated but unrealistic, apart from the numbers.
Lol@ the Persians being played by all white guys. Of course, I guess it's understandable considering how racist the country was back then compared to now, not to mention there weren't a whole lot of Arab-Americans in 1962.
But they could've at least colored their skin a little darker or something to make them LOOK like authentic Persians.
This movie is x999999999999999999999 times better than the new one called "300",because the new is piece of a graphic shit and the actors act like they are some american bar workers and not true greeks.

This movie is much better than new, new movie is a fantasy and it's sucks. I don't have anything against fantasy, but guys, if you calling movie by a name of real action, show something real. This is like to call a movie "D-day" and show there dragons as nazi planes lol.
Also, this (old) movie is very good, enough will be say that a lot of american movies were banned is Soviet Union, but this - not, TV shows this very often

The story Frank told did NOT , I repeat did NOT have zombies or monsters. The imagery was to portray what the spartans thought of their enemies. NOT how they were, There were visual metaphors, NOT actual stuff.

I can't agree with that. The spartans didn't think anything of their enemies, because they couldn't think. They killed all their smart babies, the rest was stupid. However, they were grown to real man - hard and strong - and they couldn't have any kind of fear, definitely not a fear of little stinky persians or their visual metaphors.

Still, that movie was a disgrace for the Persian Civilization which was one of the greatest in ancient years. I don't get why your personal interpretation can cover the disrespect Hollywood shows towards History.
BTW, Why not make a movie about the wealthiest, bloodthirsty beasts who invaded a peaceful country, called Iraq?
You can analyze all you want, but after all 300 was a mainstream movie, created to satisfy the needs of this reckless pop-culture.

It was a COMIC book movie. No more disrespectful than Captain America in World war 2, Or Ironman involved in Vietnam...But, I assume your not a comic fan, as comic fans know the books and don't judge them based on reality. Im not being a dick, but its based off a book. Not history, it wasnt meant to teach anything more than the power that the spartans held

@twiztidlestat
Look... I am from Greece and I grew up with the legend of Thermopylae. I feel that 300 as a movie and as a comic book diminished everything: from the two civilizations involved to the virtues of a man in general. It was just a presentation of meaningless splatter which unfortunately our world still needs apparently.
I'm not criticizing the fact that it comes from a comic book. I'm just pointing out that History shouldn't be violated so freely in the name of the masses.

@HitByTime
I respect that your from Greece. I really do, but the thing is, is that the historys are so old, that interpetations are what keeps people interested, and possibly look into it deeper than they would before. I do respect your opinion, I just diagree.

@twiztidlestat
Thank you for this civilized dialogue, my friend. :-)
I agree that interpretations can keep people's interest. But that should be done to the extent that no historical figures (such as Xerxes) or civilization (blood-thirsty Persians) are defamed. In this case, defamation is also achieved through Hollywood splatter.
BTW, I would like to recommend you the novel that both the comic and the movie were based on: "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield. That's a decent interpretation imo.

@HitByTime
Thank you as well, To find someone online who doesnt misspell and throw a bunch of immature insults when they disagree is RARE. I will check out that book, I always look out for greek referenced books. Ill pick that up the next chance I get. I agree that Xerxes got a bad hand in those movies, If he said he would give you the world, as long as you bowed, he DID. He did NOT lie at all, but the movies didnt portray that. Thank you for the conversation. Keep the comments coming.

@HitByTime Unfortunately the masses dont care about history. They just want a story. As such, there will alays be good guys, usually portrayed as square jawed handsome chaps, and bad guys, who will be caracatures, stereotypes and falsehoods rolled into one. Movies dont do balance, they dont do accuracy and they dont give a fig about Greek or Persian cultural heritage. (Or anyone eleses)

@twiztidlestat Yep. You know that. I know that. But all the people who watch the movie and havent read a history book since.. ever. Will take what they see on the screen to be in some way related to the truth. It happened after Braveheart, The Patriot and pretty much every movie about WW1 or 2.

@Tiwaz81
I tend to agree in a way. I was asked to read a book called Gates of fire by Steven Pressfield...AMAZINGLY written and seemingly much more accurate than 300. They both are GREAT interpetations of what they were, and in the ways they were made, I say watch/read both, and enjoy them for how you want, ya know
twiztidlestat 1 year ago
@twiztidlestat The imagery portrayed what Frank Miller thought of the Persians or what he thought would be more interesting to the average comic book nerd, very little is recorded of Spartan opinion on Persian soldiers or fashion.
Tiwaz81 1 year ago
Persians did not practice slavery as it was banned by Cyrus the Great.
Xerxes was no maniac. and Spartans didnt dress like Romans.
This movie is also very inaccurate.
Arad737 2 years ago 5
The whole story is inaccurate, since it is widely acceptred that each spartan was accompanied by 10 helots, which raises the 300 to 3300...
But Romans dressed like greeks. The roman empire widely adoptet knowledge from the overthrown cultures they waged war on. So was the lorica hamata, the chainmail, a celtic envention, for example.

This film is not historically Accurate either!
Persians didn't dress in Black and they had colorful dresses that even impressed Alexander.
And Persians didn't invoke the war, the Greeks did by attacking Persia first.
Plus, Xerxes offered the Spartans safety many times, even at the very end when they regroup in a circle. He tells them that they are welcome in his country. He was much more merciful that it is depicted here.
Arad737 2 years ago
@Arad737 actually... Persians did prevoke greek, we just learned about this in SS and the 300 spartan warriors inspired the rest of greek to beat the persains, without their contribute, lord knows what things would be like today!

No, the size of the armies in this is realistic? Have you gone mad? And the location, I guess in this one is more realistic, but the new one has more though.
hayabusa118 2 years ago
The new one is based on an overexagerated comic book. This one actually has the true persian attire as well. The real spartans wore bronze body armor as well. The one in the comic.
Guyver89 2 years ago
Ah.
hayabusa118 2 years ago
I agree, the new film is good to watch, in my top 10 films but quite a few bits are a bit odd like Ephialtes and those weird female things in the tent, And the immortals. I think what frank miller was trying to do was look at it how they would see the persians at the time, monsters and daemons especially with the rhino's and elephants as they were almost unheard of during that period. Exaggerated but unrealistic, apart from the numbers.

Lol@ the Persians being played by all white guys. Of course, I guess it's understandable considering how racist the country was back then compared to now, not to mention there weren't a whole lot of Arab-Americans in 1962.
But they could've at least colored their skin a little darker or something to make them LOOK like authentic Persians.

Persians were known to be even whiter then the Greeks because they always hid their skin from the sun.

Persians are Indo-European Caucasians originating from Iran.
Persians are not Arabs - Arabs are Semitics from the Arabian pennisula.
