Massive on an epic scale

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2007)

Action on a MASSIVE scale 9/10 stars Weeks prior to the showing of 300 I did not even know about the movie. It wasn't until my friends started showing me trailer clips until I noticed what the film was about. I merely shrugged it off as an over-hyped movie (the more i noticed, the more 300 posters I saw, paraphernalia for the 300 game, etc). I was lucky enough to be presented with the honor of it being at my college for screening. The movie started off slow, and my suspicions of over hype were slowly confirmed. However, as the movie progressed, I was simply blown away by the graphic and violent smack down the army of 300 delivered. The CG was stunning way beyond comprehension, and will render the movie-goer breathless for certain scenes. Director Zack Snyder was also meticulous to detail as well, careful to portray fight scenes and blood in utmost glory. The cast was well chosen from the villains to the heroes. The sharp and witty humor integrated in the script was a compliment to the film also. Watching this movie on a big-screen is a must, as the audience cheered on the Spartans till the very end.
