Good film, not the best of its genre, historically inaccurate

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2008)

300. Written and Directed by Zack Snyder. Starring Gerard Butler, Lena Heade, Dominic West, David Wenham, Vincent Regan, Tom Wisdom, Andrew Tiernan,
Very visually stunning and intriguing film. Its not supposed to be historically accurate, and really it wasn't. THe film's weakness is it is overly relying on slow motion. But visually you cant deny how great it is, the atmosphere is wonderful. It is written and acted well, and overall if they had actually showed the Persians (yes thats my people, hence my sensititivity) as Persians, and not as these demonic looking people reminiscent of "dhalsim" in Street Fighter. I may be a bit biased... but other than these minor problems, it was very entertaining. Good watch but i probably will not watch it too many times. ---- 9/10
