One of the best ever

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2007)

Finally, a movie worthy to stand next to Braveheart and Gladiator in Americans' DVD collections, and a performance by Gerard Butler that will be remembered on the same epic scale as Mel's and Russel's. 300 tells an awesome story in an awesome way. The cinematography is unprecedented. Frank Miller's dialog is tight and powerful. Every person who sees this movie will remember a quote worthy of repeating in real life. Beyond that, the message the Spartans send to the Persians, as well as the one this movie sends to the audience, is as important today as it was 2300 years ago. Anyone who gives this movie anything less than 8 stars is a liberal trying to suppress viewership. See 300, even if you have to hack through 10,000 Persian Immortals to get to your seat. Also read the novel about the battle of Thermopylae written by Steven Pressfield, called "The Gates of Fire."
