C'mon, it's like a mild cheddar compared to the overpowering livarot of 300.Orang Utan said:

Yes, exactly - there is certainly a Scale Of Cheese, but Die Hard is on that scale, no doubtsleaterkinney said:

Like a boss.
And if we're talking cheese: "live free or die hard"

Very different films anyway, can't be compared.
300's strengths are it's beautiful visuals and extremely well choreographed fight scenes that border on dance in places.

I thought it was a very poor man's LOTR crossed with a computer game.
I don't mind mindless action - hence die hard being mentioned in my all time favourites list - but this just felt a bit... empty

300 isn't based on history, it's based on the Frank Miller comic, with a specific style. The main selling point is that the main man sometimes sounds like Sean Connery though. "This Is Shparta!"
And it's a lot fucking better than Die Hard fucking 4. Ooooh I'm going to shoot through me into you....but the bullet will kill you and only annoy me. Fuck off.
You mean if the woman, child and hero lived? And the robot sidekick?sleaterkinney said:

i thought it was a fine piece of hokum, fully deserving of a place in internets history as a fertile meme-farm, but let's not think it was anything other than a series of cheesy set pieces.

i sat down to watch it expecting some enjoyable nonsense, I had no false expectations.
it was nonsense, but it wasn't in any way enjoyable

If it leads anybody to read Herodotus it will at least have done some good.

Jackass is mindless, fratboy, puerile nonsense - but it has moments of slapstick genius.
300 is touted as some kind of camp, kitsch, OTT, nonsensical classic. It's just a weird CGI effect draped over barely competent actors bellowing poorly written lines.
It's actually DULL, which is bad news for an action movie

i disagree. it was not DULL!

i dind't either. i watched it cos i thought the comic book was good. i have my criticisms, for example soft focus ridiculousness, and the fact that yes it used the same CGI style as LOTR without adding to it, but meh, when you're watching something that is supposed to be sheer mindless entermatainment these things don't really matter when something is a load of blokes in their undercrackers hitting each other with swords whilst saying cheesy things!
i mean, it's touted as that by people who like it.
