A fascinating take on Greek history turned into a full-blown Hollywood spectacle, 300 works surprisingly well. Even though you already know how it will end, it stays exciting right up to the final moment. It’s absolutely not historically accurate, but it’s undeniably entertaining. Gerard Butler is a great fit as King Leonidas if you can overlook the hint of a Scottish accent. Lena Headey is equally well cast as the queen; she carries herself with a natural poise that radiates royalty. The movie is packed with wild and over-the-top effects and stunts, and you can clearly feel Frank Miller’s influence throughout. It’s beautifully stylized, and even though everything is exaggerated, it fits perfectly with the mythic tone of the story. Watch this if you enjoy films about ancient battles or if you simply appreciate a movie filled with barely dressed, well-trained warriors in epic combat. Either way, it’s a solid and visually stunning action film. |

SOLID ACTION! Been wanting to see this again for some time now, and finally we went by Blockbuster and got it on Blue Ray... You need those 1080 p if you can get them =) I haven't read the comic yet, but the way they have kept the whole comic book feel, or maybe enhanced it, is very convincing. And even though it's over the top for the most part, you still get sucked in to an era where Sparta was the place in the world with the greatest warriors and soldiers. The story is as great and epic as you can imagine, with persia invading in a manner only Tolkien could do more legendary. |
