300 -why the monsters?

the movie 300 i mean.

It's really dumb. dumber than the comic book, which is pretty cerebral as comic books go.
I really don't get why they felt the need to put in all those goofy monsters that aren't even in the comic. It's like they have this impression that comic books are crap. Or they have the impression that people think so.
But here's the thing: The comic books that make it to the movie stage (achieve such popularity that movie people are aware of them) are different from other comics. They stand out from the crowd. They're not typical comic books. To take that and then just throw a bunch of what you think is typical comic book stuff in... 'because people expect it'

fuck that. have some guts. For a movie that's about guts.

Speaking of guts, in the graphic novel the spartans all fight naked. Cause they're that tough. The movie gives them brown trunks. What would really take some guts is to be true to the comic. But there could never ever be male nudity in a movie- even an R-rated movie. I guarantee no one considered it even once.
Maybe that's a good thing considering how many people commented on the "nudity" in the movie.

other lame thing: bad guys all have piercings. ooh, scary. To old people, maybe.
