First of all im glad to be here .
I enjoyed 300 as a comic from the artistic perspective. Although i tend to like more realistic styles than free style of Frank Miller and the coloring gave so much movement and life that really taught me something.
About the movie. I really hate the abuse of history and especially the abuse of greek history (guess why lol: . If they pass it as an interepretation of the comic as they did with Sin City i wont be minded at all and actually i will like it. Cause in that case they wont be trying to represent history but a comic which used a real fact as refference to pass a story full of heroism.
I understand that Miller bent the rules in the plot and used alot of imagination but he passes the the meanning of Thermopylae and that is important. If he was doing something like Shanower's Age of Bronze it would be closer in my tastes but.. its ok .
