i noticed that the two movies aree similar but will like to know more from the Nairaland users, with   points which movie is the best and which of the hero in da movies is da best

i will start by saying that gladiator is the best movie iv set my eyes on, and the ending of 300 was starting to look like gladiator, with the spartan queen in the wheat scene, and leonidis the spartan king thinking of his wife when dying, i also feel the poetry in gladiator was more touching and had more variety of scenes,

i know both of them are just movies, but if maximus was to face the spartan king in battle what will u think will happen?

Yea, 300 adopted some stuff from Braveheart & Gladiator.
But of all heroes, William Wallace is my best. There's a tie between Maximus & Leonidas. I l.u.v 'em all though.

thanks podeep and 9ice, 9ice u seem to know a whole lot,

another hero has been added, williams wallace, let me ask another question, i love them all too, and though they all died for a good reason whose death was more valuable to his nation?

The most valuable death? None.
The three deaths equal each other.
1. Wallace's death led to the liberation of the scots from the english.
2. Maximus' led to the liberation of the romans from a tyrannical government which didn't regard the senate.
3. Leonidas' led to the liberation of spartans from the persians.
All deaths were priceless.
BUT I'd say the most dignifying was Maximus' death. HE GOT TO KILL THE TYRANT WITH HIS OWN HANDS. HE ACTUALLY WATCHED HIM DIE! HOW FULFILLING!!
Whereas, Wallace didn't get to kill the English king & Leonidas didn't get to kill Xerxes. Well, I guess that's why Braveheart & 300 are true life stories. It shows that nothing comes easy and you needn't get to the "Promise Land" physically, as long as you strived for it, then you are with(in their hearts)those that made it there.

this is hard ooo, 300, babay .spataaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

sorry iice for remixing tha name, i like the artist 9ice thats why,

yeah 300 was good but i still take gladiator, but i mite agree to brave heart, cos out of the three heroes, william wallace had little resources to fight with i mean weapon not number, and his death was touching, back to 300, even if leonidis did not go to fight persia dont u think it would have been imposible for the persians to come to sparta and defeat them?

another question, out of the three of them who lost what he had the most, as for me is maximus, cos he lost the throne, his family i remember my most interesting part of the movie, husband to a murdered wife,father to a murdered son, and he lost his position as commander of the army and the army

another observation, i noticed that in 300 and braveheart there was only one outstanding cast leonidis for 300 and william wallace for braveheart, but in gladiator maximus and commodus were very outstanding, that makes them two, if u have any outstanding in 300 and braveheart let me know

i will like quotes from da 3 movies that interest you the most,

at my signal,unleash hell, maximus gladiator

give them nothing
take from them everything, leonidis 300

spartans whats ur professionawoo awoo awoo 300

im maximus the saviour of rome, commodus's nephew, ive forgotten his name
commodus replied who said that?

Man i swear i jst dnt kn which 1 2 go 4,der are bt bloody films,i felt does move in my system,bt d common tin in dem all is dat dey all die at d end its too bad i almost cried.

Maximus, Maximus maximus


need I say more, the script for Gladiator was tight, much more than Spartan which had this quirky humor
Gladiator was a serious drama , no comic relief

but the script read like poetry

that line about, father to a murdered son etc then ending with Maximus saying I will have my revenge in this life or the next.

commodus

the people love him,it vexes me,i am vexed

its been long somebody posted stuff here, ok lets criticize the 3 movies

i will start with 300, the story line was weak,
they were using the same kind of effects over and over i mean the slowmotion stuff

its been long someone posted here

nice topic you have here. but i think we shouldn't stray too far from the topic: Maximus{gladiator} Vs Leonidis Spartan King{300}

if it was just gladiator vs 300 then it's fine by me. but the above (if they acted it), e hard o! it would be bloody (i stand by 300' side)

due to a post by webmonk im changing the topic to 300 vs gladiator,

i just watched gladiator 3 days ago, its a better movie than 300, the story line of 300 was weak

I watched 300 hundred in the cinema. Bet you can imagine the effects . It was WOW!!! out of this world. 300 has a bit of everything, comedy, drama but mostly action this combination made the movie wholesome. check out 6packs fit and beautiful bodies and the fight scenes, dem no get part two

I watched Gladiator a while back. Its okay _{if you're into such movies, which I am} but between the two i'll pick 300 hundred anyday

Po Deep correct guy

russel crowe is da bobmb, it aint all about six pack,

300 was cool bt there was repitition of the slow mo effects, story line 0
