Do you like movies? Then See It!

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2007)

The fact that I saw this movie 4 times in three days should mean something. This is the perfect movie for a 15 year old boy. Tits, Gore ( in that order), clever diaolouge, vague, subtle, political message. It really does have it all. Of course it excels most in the technical categories and I really hope it gets some Oscar nominations in categories like cinematography, art direction, special effects and much more. Because it really deserves it. I doubt I will see a better film in theaters all year. I haven't been so amazed by a movie in the theaters since United 93 and I haven't had so much in the theater sine Borat or maybe even King Kong. This is an experience.
Hmm... the plot well there isn't much but Snyder does as much as he can with it. The movie is basically about 300 Spartans ( Led by Leonidas.) who take on a million or so Persians in order to maintain their land. There is also another story taking place back in Sparta where King Leonidas's wife is fighting a war of her own. This war does not have swords or blood though. She is fighting a war of words against the senate in order to send more warriors to help the 300. In both stories betrayal is a theme. And that's all I can really tell you with out giving some surpirsing moments away.
This is a super violent, super sexy movie which is highly enjoyable ( the whole theater was applauding.) but well made as well. In short it's a staple for all movie epics to follow. Don't miss it.
