Quite simply and awe-inspiring tale of glory and sacrifice!

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2007)

This is a truly magnificent example of quality film making that is great on the eye but even better on the heart. You have no doubt already read about the splendid production values of this film, so i will not bore you with anymore technical jargon. Suffice to say it is breathtaking.
The true genius lies in the casting and performance of the cast. To a man (and lady) they are all superb, from the dedication needed to develop their tremendous physiques, to the way they convince the audience of their true love for Sparta.
Gerard Butler steals the show as the King Leonidas, a passionate leader that could even inspire me to follow him into war and ultimately death! Although not strictly an accurate account of history, the story never actually claims to be a truthful reenactment, it glorifies the sacrifice and love that a group of 300 men have for their country but more importantly their leader.
See this movie with a big group of guys for the best experience, and beware the desire to leave the theater and go straight to the gym or the bar for a fight!!!!
