Fabulous 300!

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2008)

There's one thing I can't stand and that is people who have a go at any movie that is based around a historical event and has been changed for the purposes of entertainment.
Obviously '300' isn't a history lesson it's a movie made to entertain and maybe give you a loose idea of the 300 Spartans that went to war against the Persian invaders.
It is an excellent movie with wonderful action sequences and a surreal backdrop. Gerard Butler shows he is capable of carrying a big movie like this with a totally believable performance as Leonidas, the King who gives his life to defend his country. He's totally unrecognisable hiding behind a Brian Blessed type beard, I did go through a stage of describing as a buff Brian Blessed until I saw the gorgeousness that lay beneath! One for the ladies and the men here! 300 sets of perfect abs for the ladies (and some men) and excellent action sequences for the men. Am also told by a work colleague that Lena Hedley, Queen Gorgo, is fit!!! So there you go!
