    Not the best sized link but looks damn good.


    From the looks of this trailer it looks like their going for a very intense kind of movie. They have to keep sacrificing people in order to stay alive long enough to save earth.

    "Only enough life support for four of us?"
    "Okay well then two of us have to suffocate to death...any volunteers?"
    That sort of thing

    Wow, I've been looking around and, other than some dude at aintitcool.com all of the critics are saying wonderful things about this movie.


    The dude at aintitcool complained that there was too much slow motion

    Long as the cinematography and editing is as good as it is in the trailers and in that clip I don't care if the whole damn movie is in slow motion.

    It would just be like extended awesome.

    Greek Soldiers didn't have much in the way of armor.

    In fact the only armor really available at the time was made out of leather.

    We're talking before even chain mail, here.

    And the only metals available were things like copper and raw iron.

    And then there is the funfact that TFS mentioned.

    Greek soldiers would sometimes go into battle completely nude.

    not to mention wearing 25+kilos of metal for hours at a time is a bit exhausting and movement restrictive

    If you really want to get down to it, none of them should even have those huge, metal shields. I dunno, MAYBE Leonidas or something. But most of them should be using shields that are mostly made of wood, not, like, iron or whatever.

    Not important, though.

    Also, providing your own weapons was a practice that extended FAR beyond ancient Greece.

    I think one of the advantages the Spartans had over the Persians was their superior armour. Wikipedia says that anyway, can you provide links to show that greek hoplites of the time didn't wear much armour? And I definately question them going into battle completely nude. I mean really, thats probably just not a good idea.

    well why are we even discussing greek soldiers, its a movie about spartans vs persians. the comic creator guy has said he made them in almost no armor so they would look manlier.

    The Spartans were Hoplite infantry, the wiki article:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoplite
    Wikipedia wrote:
    During the Persian Wars, hoplites were often forced to run towards archers in order to engage them in a melee where they would have the upper-hand, and during the Peloponnesian War light, projectile-armed troops such as peltasts became increasingly dominant. As a result, they began wearing less armor, carrying shorter swords, and in general adapting for greater mobility.

    Wow, didn't know that just copying text with links in it would also recreate the links when I pasted it.
