Immense

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2007)

Frank Miller said all the way along that it was not historically accurate...therefore it is only fair that we allow him the poetic license that has been used throughout. By having Ephialtes as a deformed Spartan made you sympathise with him, by having the Persians forced back wave after wave of assault to the Phalanx and by showing that the Spartans had some brilliant one liners! The main part is where the Persians finish off the Spartan contingent with arrows as they were too afraid to face them again, which by all accounts is true. A brilliant "tribute" to the 300 Spartans in which the whole cast and crew have done them proud with this amazing motion picture.
