300

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2007)

I wasn't too excited to see this movie because I usually don't like war type movies that are bloody but my friend convinced me to go with and see it the other night. This movie actually turned out to be way better than I expected. I heard good things about the movie and that it was really worth seeing, and now that I saw it I definitely agree. I highly recommend seeing this movie, even before it comes out on DVD because it was a very intense movie that most people would enjoy. 300 kept me on the edge of my seat, just waiting to see what would happen next. You could never tell what was going to happen or when the next country was going to attack. Honestly, I thought this movie would just be another "tough guy" movie full of gory and blood filled scenes, but there were parts that were very moving. The cast was very well chosen and I think each actor/actress played their parts very well, especially Queen Gorgo, played by Lena Headey. She did a wonderful job playing a headstrong woman and knew what was right for her country. Overall, I rate this movie a 9.
