Watch the movie and then read the comic. Its all there, exactly as it was written. And there was room left over to expand it into a full film with the queen storyline. So it was able to retain all the source while still feeling (and pacing) like a proper film, and not just some shot for shot comic. I don't see how anyone who loved the comic could be disappointed with the film, and that's a very rare thing. If it happens, I'll go see it.

Thanks to Greek history there is plenty of material to be used right after the battle of Thermopylae. The sequel could start with the battles of Salamis and/or of Plataea, where the Persians are destroyed and defeated. The Peloponnesian War could also be a great story to touch on, but maybe for another sequel. Great website by the way.

If this means more of that with alot of the same characters, then I'm all for it. It doesn't even need a story. I would watch 90-120 minutes of Gerard Butler yelling at people, eating apples and killing everyone. ;) After re-watching 300 like 8 times, I find all the non-combat parts to be booorrring but I want to see more of that kick-ass action.

As for the movie, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet...while the original was GREAT, I don't know how a pre/sequel would do as far as an audience is concerned. Among the people I know, the standard reception was either that they loved it, or they had no interest in it...and I think that's how a second one will be received.

I've been reading it for the last 5 to 8 years. I don't know how long it's been around. Anyway, I've basically stopped reading movie news from other sites because if it's on screenrant, it's true 9 out 10 times.(am I being too generous?)Heck even when you guys are wrong, you post disclaimers pretty quickly. The site never seems to freeze up either. Kudos to Vic and the guys. This site is great. I’ve been reading it for the last 5 to 8 years. I don’t know how long it’s been around.

I should of explained in more detail about the timing. Alot of the film will take place before what we saw happen in 300 - thus allowing the return of the fan favourite characters. Maybe it'll be something similar to that of 300 where Dilios is again narrating, perhaps after/during the big battle to events or other fights previous where Leonidas led the Spartans into battle.

I still have friends telling me that Johnny Depp is going to be the Riddler, and Angelina Jolie is going to be Catwoman. P.S. That Iron Man/Dark Knight thing was a joke. Dear,
Your Face.
